Everything Camaleón wrote is true, e.g. for the default Windows just the
buttons are missing, the right-click still is ok, e.g. using
"Activities" is the way to break every sane workflow for serious usage,
but OTOH it's a game for all those people who don't use the computer as
a tool, but as a toy.
I'm using fallback mode and I'm still able to restore GNOME 2 ;).
The most serious issue is, that some professional FLOSS apps were
written for GNOME 2, with GNOME 3 we fall back to an amateur OS
regarding to some apps.
