Yes, I am absolutely serious:
I haven't found any possibility to open 2 (or more) side-by-side
terminal windows on Fedora 15's Gnome 3.
I also think Gnome's ergonomy has massively regressed between Gnome 2
and Fedora 15's Gnome 3. It has rendered working with Gnome from "fair"
to "uneffective" and "clumsy".

Neither am I. However, I am aware the graphics are mostly a matter of
personal taste.

Me desktop layout is similar. 6 workspaces in total.
One workspace for thunderbird and firefox, one workspace for "file
browsers", 3 workspaces each containing several terminals (grouped by
tasks I am working on) and one "spare" workspace. No compiz, no desktop
effects (sense-free eye-candy and resource drain)

There was time, I used to move it to the left. As this didn't work out
well, I swallowed the top menu and learnt to live with it ;)

Agreed.

Wrt. Gnome 3 and Fedora, such statements make me laugh. I am considering
them to be shallow marketing word bubbles without any substance.
