Actually though, I highly recommend reading the GNOME 3 Design documents before accusing the GNOME team of not doing their homework.

I think it would be more meaningful to provide links to their actual usability study/research then a links to their design/mockups and FAQ for novice end users.
I think people on this list are more wanting to understand why they are making those changing and less how they are making those changes.
As you can see the most criticism against the Gnome UI Design is removal of existing "features/usage" not about the look and feel about the design and usability of Gnome-shell ( all thou I've come across 1 really annoying usability issue which may or may not be a bug ).
Now I should point out that the reboot button has had a tendency to "disappear" early in the development cycle ( has occured for few cycles now ) and usually at the same/similar time the keyboard layout settings starts to default to US only then reboot button reappears and keyboard layout settings work again...
