Hey what do you know – I find myself not caring very much. After using Gnome 2 for a long while as my main work desktop and actually really trying to use Gnome 3 for a while. Now I'm not even curious to know what's in the new release.
I understand the initial shock as a long-time user of gnome as my primary desktop. (since gnome 1) I was like you but now have to admit, since 3.8, I am very happy with all the changes. I prefer its look and feel over everything else these days.
