That's your experience.

My experience with GNOME 3 on SL7.2 is that is vastly have improved
workflow.  A lot of it comes through very handy keyboard shortcuts and a
handful of GNOME Shell extensions.  In fact I can't imagine any sane
reason to move back to GNOME 2 or anything else - it just feels so
clumsy and horrid to work with for me.  Everything just runs very
smoothly and fine on my ThinkPad T450s.

But this is /my/ experience.
