Believe it.

Gnome3 is as different from Gnome2 as KDE4 is different from Gnome2. It's an 
entirely new DE, with different organization, structure, workflow, etc. Nothing 
is the same except for the name "Gnome".

You're probably best off migrating to XFCE. IIUC, it is most similar DE to the 
old Gnome2.
