Agreed - it is a bit odd, but I am getting used to it, and as your
users report, it's fast and practical. And I have a use for the damn
'windows' key! (Alt-F2 is the alternative for un-branded keyboards).

And ctrl-tab + ctrl-~ is an excellent timesaver. Got used to it on the
mac, and I think KDE had it but if Gnome had it I never found it.

It's a new UI -- we all have things we're used to so it is easy to
focus on a change you dislike. But overall, if you try to play the
game it proposes it is good.

It does have issues though

 - bring back poweroff ;-)

 - applications browsing can be improved -- the scrollbar is too thin
and subtle, icons miss tooltips...

 - various oddities with dual-head setup vs...
   - the hot-corner - sometimes it's between your monitors!
   - the hot-topbar - vertically "stacked" monitors are unusable
