I feel the same way. Gnome 3 feels great as a keyboard first power user, it feels great with a laptop touchpad and using single, double, triple finger swipes for different things. Presumably it works pretty well on touchscreen devices too.
It actually still matches my Windows workflow pretty closely because all I ever do is hit winkey and type the name of the app I want to launch there too.
The only place it really falls apart is if you're using it with Keyboard + Mouse and aren't the sort of person that likes to just learn keyboard shortcuts and gestures for everything without looking at the UI much.
The other problem I have with it is the opinionated stance on window border/title sizes. The defaults are way too big and you're not really supposed to change them. Other than that I quite like Gnome 3.
