Fedora 15 is a lot like Windows OS's.. irritating, offensive, difficult to use with ease, nauseating to try...

I found a quick orientation at gnome.org.  Saved me a lot of frustration
and helped me adapt much more quickly.  Not sure it's love yet, but I'm
comfortable working with it.

Also, there are a bunch of extensions (and more coming. I'm sure) to
help overcome some of the annoyances.  "yum list gnome-shell-\*" to get
a list of the ones already supported.
