Never heard of it before, but it's not bad, I like the look! The opposite of looking at (the new and old) Gnome 3 - Some kind of abortion of a Mac interface, it sucks horribly. WTF is wrong with those people? Gnome 2 was my favorite at the time, Cinnamon for me now.

This! G3 is just pointless to me, cannot stand it.

Ever since gnome 3 they been saying FU to the users, no biggie, I went with mate and xfce. But then they removed the ability of GTK to change desktop colors to force the other desktops based off it to suck too. So now I hate gnome because they forced the better desktop GUIs to accept their bad UI elements. (I can make a list of other things I hate that they've done)
No, I'm not bitter or anything....
