To everyone who defends Gnome3:
The entire spirit behind linux is giving the user ultimate control and a wealth of options. Fallback mode is not acceptable. There are 2 big problems with Gnome3:
1) the graphics code is so inefficient it can hardly run right now. older machines are just SOL. Newer machines are made sluggish by the inefficient graphics. They had to switch to lightdm just to make it run acceptably on modern machines.
2) New features of Gnome3 should be configurable and optional. If they truly are better you won't have to force people to use them. People will choose to use them on their own. The fact that you removed that option already makes me think people won't use it unless they're forced. But nobody is ever forced into one disto. We'll just switch! Makes me sad though, ubuntu was one of my favorite distros until now.
Update: everybody switched to Mint! Yay!
