To me it looks obvious as soon as you click gnome Applications menu. Accessories, Education, Games... etc icons really look old school, but not cool old skool :) > Reviews are just reviews.

I really agree with them, not because I'm mindless LAS gnome but because they totally resonate with my own opinion. Please listen to it. It comes down to mediocre - design wise, but only on some element because some parts are great but some are just not - and that makes the difference even more obvious. Fedora is a great distro and has really cutting edge technology and we feel a bit disappointed when design doesn't follow that as it did with FC6 and F7 IMHO.
