Just use XFCE. I ditched GNOME years ago and am much happier for it.
The GNOME design philosophy is clearly chasing after Apple and other mass-market strategies. Let me throw a spanner in the works:

I'm sure lots of people will misinterpret what I mean here, but it's really just simple economics. The life of a project like Debian lives off of incoming contributions, not incoming support requests. And certainly it is possible to convert mass-market users into productive contributors, but everyone starts off being a (concrete, short-term) liability to the project.
