I originally thought omitting the minimize button was crazy, but after 
using gnome3 for a month or so, I don't miss it at all. gnome3 has a 
different way of doing things; give it time. If you can "swoosh" into 
the activities area to rapidly select a different window, having a 
minimize button doesn't really make sense (or at least, it is redundant 
- and gnome has always opted for simplification over extra flexibility).

I also originally hated the default fonts, but I like them now - but I 
had to enable "Large Text" in the Accessibility button at the top.

I'm not sure about the task-switching method, though. I'm having a hard 
time using the alt+tab / alt+backtick combo naturally. I think it could 
be improved.

My 2 cents.
