This argument is foo bar. If advanced buttons would be clicked any
time... then it means users *want* to tweak those features, they should
be integrated in the core preferences. Why should I ever need to install
a separate tool to fix my font settings or to add back buttons to the
otherwise useless and space wasting window bar?

Gnome 3 is not an experimental desktop anymore, it's been around for
some time and it's the default desktop in Fedora... it's about time to
fix it [1].

[1] This is my opinion, at least. And note, this is not to flame. I do
like *some* features of Gnome 3 more than any other desktop, it has
great potential, I just think it's greatly unexpressed.
