There is no need to run away from Fedora because of GNOME 3. We also have
KDE Plasma, Xfce, LXDE and some other choices available for you. And you'll
probably have to get familiar with one of those options sooner or later
anyway, GNOME 2 is a dead end.

FYI - I switched to KDE - the current version is pretty nice - small
learning curve - and I found I prefer it to Gnome 2 even (def prefer to
Gnome 3). I spent a little time but not too long - it does everything I
need pretty well (I have multiple apps, terminals etc in different
workspaces).
Its a nice refreshing update from Gnome 2 and clearly is not trying to
compete with Android - which already won the phone UI ... and quite
possible the tablet UI as well, tho that looks a little more penetrable
to me market wise.
Enjoy whatever you decide to do ...
