Linus Torvalds dumps Gnome3 for XFCE (G+ discussion)

I've been using Gnome 3 for a few months now. When I started, people told me on Twitter to stick with it and that I'd grow to like it. I didn't. And after three months, I'm very tempted to turn on compat mode (something I avoid doing in most software I use)

Compat mode is still pretty crappy.

I'll second this very strongly. Compatibility mode is a shadow of what Gnome 2 used to be, and I've spent enough time using it at this point to feel pretty comfortable saying that.

(And if you do any work in a VM, you too will become very familiar with compatibility mode.)
