Well, no, that wasn't the design goal (as I understand it), but I use 
GNOME3 daily, and I like its minimalistic approach.

The only thing I absolutely hate about it is when a plugin dies, it 
crashes the entire session with an "Oh, no!  Something happened!" and an 
option to log out.  I would at /least/ like to save documents I have open 
before being forced to log out.

Whoever thought that was a good idea spent far too much time dealing with 
systems where everything runs in ring 0 and an abend was generally 
considered a good thing.  We're past those days now, and being able to 
recover, say, a running virtual machine might just be a /good/ thing.
