I think you are reflecting a subset of users priorities. I've switched
users from desktop to desktop and they don't care a jot about
flashiness in fact many like simple but pretty which is perfectly
do-able with almost any window manager, what they hate is
a) things moving too much that they can't find
b) not being able to do what they want or things disappearing
Looking Flashy is always enticing but not at any functional expense
and limited performance expense.
Gnome 3 is getting both a and b wrong.
