I hope that you are aware that "icons on a desktop" is considered to be a Bad Idea (tm) that comes from the Windows world and eventually clutters an otherwise useful desktop space.
I beg to differ. Icons on a desktop make it quick and easy to launch programs that you use constantly. What's a Bad Idea from the Windows world is having every program you install insist on putting another icon on your desktop, generally speaking without asking. In fact, I know of one game (Joint Operations, from NovaLogic) that puts Yet Another Icon on your desktop for every upgrade mod you install so that you can launch the original version, or with either one or both of the upgrades active. Why anybody wants to is left unanswered.
Clearly, you don't particularly like icons. That's fine; you don't have to use them if you don't want to. However, it's not up to you (or anybody else) to tell us we shouldn't use them simply because you don't like them. That kind of One True Way thinking is not only one of the things that made many of us investigate Linux in the first place, it's one of the things that drove me (and probably others) away from Gnome3.
Sorry to rant, but stating personal opinions as though they were indisputable facts tends to push one of my buttons.
