1. Alt+Tab is completely broken - in fact you have a choice on how you want the alt-tab to work: https://extensions.gnome.org/extension/15/alternatetab/ or https://extensions.gnome.org/extension/38/windows-alt-tab/ or https://extensions.gnome.org/extension/97/coverflow-alt-tab/ or https://extensions.gnome.org/extension/310/alt-tab-workspace...

2. static workspace - this is actually fixed in 3.10 (part of 14.04) now. Enabled by the Gnome Tweak tool

3. slow animation - https://extensions.gnome.org/extension/277/impatience/

Gnome 3.10 is really good and incredibly good slick alternative to Mac - without being a clone. 3.12 is likely to be better.

I've been using 3.12 with 14.04 beta2(using the gnome staging ppa). I can't say it's very different from 3.10, but it feels a bit faster, and they fixed a few UX problems in the settings menus etc. Most extensions I wanted work with it. There are a few bugs that are probably due to working with an unstable distro with an unstable gnome ppa, but overall it's nice.
