Havnt got as far as Gnome3 yet but running 2.32.0 
Love the Desktop,  with a 22" monitor I can have all my apps open either
together on the desktop or on 1 of the 4 workspaces configured. I have
just found if I move the cursor to the uppermost right hand of the
screen the windows on the current desktop go transparent and align
together, good for when you want to open another app as it then takes
focus.  I have noted quite a few Differences between Mint and fedora
Gnomes unless it's me not configuring them both the same!
On Mint large open (wobbly) windows snap to a smaller one if dragged
from the top of the screen to the middle, where as they don't in Fedora.
Will Gnome3 be an update or new release?  I have only just gone from
Fedora 8 to 14 so 15 wont be on my PC for a while.
