Is Python 3 a upgrade? Is Perl 6 a upgrade? GTK 3.0 clearly is a incremental update to GTK 2.x and a lot of applications are just the same ones with minor changes. Everything from Gedit to nautilus to Evolution and so on. GNOME Shell is certainly different as far as a UI goes but it is build on things like Clutter which have a clear GNOME basis to it. The window manager is a port of Metacity to Clutter You call it tablet oriented but I dont think the UI will work well on a tablet and GNOME developers haven't targeted it towards tablets either. If you want to use a different DE or WM, go ahead. That is a different discussion from a distribution default.
