Gnome3 is what it is and while you may disagree with it, the Gnome
developers had reasons (which you may or may not agree with) to make
that shift. At this point, it is too late.
You have two options:
1) Work with Gnome to mold Gnome3 into something that works for you
(i.e. contribute)
2) Go elsewhere.
Personally, I chose to go elsewhere, as I don't need the shiny effects
and they don't play well on my triple-head setup, but that was my
choice - you may choose option 1, as I would have done if Gnome3
actually partially worked for me.
