Also the centralized way of managing your PC and the way you can search

for the applications in Gnome3 are *much better* then in traditional

Gnome2 menus imo. The application comes to you, instead that you have to

go to the application which is in one of the plenty different submenus.
Actually, this is one of the reasons why I am planning to install Debian

with Gnome3 interface on my mothers PC. If she installs an application

it will cost here close to 15 min to find it in the Ubuntu Gnome2 menus,

if she will find it at all!
And frequently used applications are nicely displayed on the left

menubar in Gnome3.
Much cleaner and less cluttered then Unity imho.
