You can make them visible by using the gnome-tweak-tools package or
manually editing the configuration file.

I don't pretend to use my computer as a toy nor I think GNOME developers
had that in mind. If you are unable to get used to it, it's okay, but
don't expect other users share your point of view.
In fact, the more I'm using gnome-shell the quicker I'm getting used to
the new layout. It seems I can live without a static-tree menu to launch
applications afterall. Come on, is not that hard.

You've been warned: this will dissapear sooner or later so you can start
looking for a replecement...

I still see many applications that are not integrated well with the new
environment but I also think is a matter of time they start functioning
again.
