But it is clearly inspired by mobile phone UIs. Why? Phones are not the
target, so why copy them? It leads to an interface which is not appropriate
for ANY platform. It's not appropriate for mobile phones for the reasons you
cite, it's not appropriate for computers because it looks and feels like a
smartphone UI, so what IS it appropriate for?
Users of computers have certain expectations of how a user interface looks
like, and gnome-shell completely fails to meet those expectations (as do
Unity and Window$ 8's "Modern UI" (formerly known as "Metro"), which both
suffer from the exact same problem).
