A quick poke of Google turns up this page... and loads others.
http://www.omgubuntu.co.uk/2009/09/gnome-3-quick-visual-tour.html

Basically Gnome3 will be different from what I read... a lot
different, and it's picking up on some of the same (or at least
similar) concepts as KDE4 currently has.

Your question though... Can Gnome3 not do things 2.8 could... doesn't
make sense... I don't know what you're asking - and as someone who
rarely uses Gnome on purpose.. I can't answer it anyway.

Gnome3 looks to be a big change... just like KDE4 was a big change.
Will it be a messy or as smooth.. who knows.  I do hope that some
lessons were learned from how KDE4 was launched, and that they are
applied with the Gnome 3 side of things.

One thing is for sure for me... I will try out Gnome3 when I have a
chance.  I am not a Gnome user now, nor have I ever liked Gnome.. but
who's to say what the new version brings.. maybe I'll like it better
than KDE4 :-)

Take a look here  http://en.opensuse.org/GNOME/3.0
What I'd like to know before I install... What's the prereqs?  Will I
break my KDE4 install?  Or more importantly... will I get PulseAudio
installed in the process? :-(
