Good point. I don't know what
GNOME3 was shooting for, but IMO for Ubuntu & Unity
it was a move to the touchscreen interface for tablets.

Frankly, it makes sense now that Fedora's backing MATE.
Red Hat would never be able
to deploy Gnome 3 on an enterprise-level scale; it's
just too non-intuitive and Unity is too
tablet-ish. Thank you, Desktop Gods!

MATE is to GNOME what LibreOffice is to OpenOffice. It's the fork going
forward. GNOME3 is a desktop like dBase2 had an interface. Blank and
useless.
MATE is GNOME2.x reborn, and it's available for Fedora, Debian, Ubuntu,
Mint, and ArchLinux at http://mate-desktop.org/install/. I just
installed it to my Fedora 17 lapto and logged off/on.
