I had it installed and used it with the beta/RC for the last 2 weeks ,but it disappeared after upgrade to GA/final and after openng the new Gnome interface once. If I choose the 'classic' option from the login screen then the system just goes back to the login screen. And next time there is no ('gearwheel') selector.

But ayway: because that is not how I want to work with my computer. The desktop interface is competely irrelevant to me. I just want to open programs. I want a menu with programs ordered by categories. Other
people
can do as they want. Personal preferences are not subject to discussion. Besides I sometimes forget the program names. But if a
category
has listed 10-20 programs, I will find fast and easy (in seconds - not minutes) what I am looking for.
Just as an aside, the search works on descriptions too, so searching for the category or a descriptive word will also work.
Alternately, if this is your main gripe with Gnome 3, enable the Applications Menu extension. Install gnome-shell-extension-apps-menu if you don't have it, run tweak tool, turn it on. Or go to https://extensions.gnome.org/extension/6/applications-menu/, accept the permissions, and hit the switch to turn it on, which will download it into your home directory.
I asked if this was an *intentional move* with the GA release or a mistake. If it was intentional, I cannot use Fedora. It simply wastes
too
much time for me. Unless an xfce, lxde, cinnamon etc. desktop will be available soon.
I think it's neither an intentional move *nor* a mistake. (Why assume either, really?) Something else is wrong. It shows up on my freshly-installed system just fine. Do you have gnome-classic-session installed? If not, `sudo dnf install gnome-classic-session`.
Also, the other desktops are available *now*. Something is up with the spins website (when I looked in, it was being worked on), but you can download the livecds directly at < https://download.fedoraproject.org/pub/fedora/linux/releases/21/Live/x86_64/
Or just install the package groups.
