The big gripe is that it's an unnecessary thing.  Also, it's not
intuitive.  Menus should present your choices.  You shouldn't have to go
right clicking, or alt-clicking on menus, trying to find *hidden*
options.  And, you have to know that you need to do that.  It's not the
sort thing that's been required with menus, anywhere, before.

It's a crappy user interface that requires combined keyboard and mousing
to use the menu.  Bad design, in general, and a nuisance for the
one-handed.  Or any situation where you don't have a keyboard.

Even if one could use the mouse, alone, and right click on an item,
that's a nuisance, and ultimately unnecessary.

On the whole, the user interface in Gnome 3 has become a painfull mess.

And once more, in summary:  Unnecessary and a nuisance,
