sigh there is nothing wrong with non-full screen windows. I'd like the option to have full-screen, sure, and on a netbook screen they make sense. However, what about on my big widescreen monitor, having a maximized web browser on there is difficult, I'd rather have web on one side of the screen and music on the other.
Gnome 3 is really nice, but seriously, a new model for app design is the last thing we need. Finishing off the admin screens, fixing web-sync, making the NetworkManager interface work nicer, reducing crashes in edge cases and better desktop search would all be better priorities. At present Gnome apps look fine, not marvelous, but in general useable, simple and consistent.
