I don't think it does.

gnome3 (along with most other applications and DE's have moved to the
xdg standard. So, config files are under .config/ and so on. 

if you have .gnome2 directories I suspect they are leftover from a long
time ago and not used. Do you see anything updating files under there
anymore? Which ones?

How about we skip the insults, especially when the supposition isn't
likely even true.
