I thought you were talking about GNOME3? You appear to have drifted off
into Ubuntu bashing and then Microsoft bashing.

I understand that many, many folks don't like GNOME3 but I am ashamed by
the proliferation of FUD and shameless bashing.

Further, everything you've stated can't be done in GNOME 3 in fact can, at
least in the case where you haven't confused distribution choices with the
desktop environment. I've used GNOME3 for the past year and do pretty much
all of those things daily.
