Gnome 3, should we use it ?



It seems that OS designers themselves have forgotten the definition of OS. Adding fancy borders and eye candy can impress the novel users but for professionals and for the end users which just want to get their work done, the graphics may not be of much importance. Specially with GNU/Linux which promises to work on older hardware, it's not required to design OS with such high graphic requirements like it does in case of Gnome 3.

The acuity of OS should be high performance and not degrading performance. Specially when UX (User interface) is designed in interpreted language. On the other hand if the UX is used which is designed in some compiled language is obvious to offer with high performance. Xfce in this case seems to deliver high performance than Gnome 3.

Xfce has enough of graphics (like shadows and all), which offers much higher performance as compared to Gnome 3. and again lack of Right-Click functionality and missing of Short Cut Keys is again a headache. But again it depends on what type of user you are?
