If you have a nvidia chipset, you can use nouveau driver with gnome 3.

Unfortunately a lot of people can't use nouveau for audio productions. For my 7200 GS this driver completely is a PITA. I have to use the FLOSS nv driver, dropped by Debian or the proprietary nvidia driver. 3 system calls for the kernel-rt don't allow you to use the proprietary nvidia driver, you need to fake the licence to use this driver. Unfortunately GNOME is a good desktop for audio production workflow.

Other users might have other reasons to be pissed by GNOME 3 and of cause, for some users GNOME 3 seems to be a good successor.

Cheers!
