And we (those running factory of opensuse) were forced to move to gnome 3 unconditionally. Unlike with KDE 3 -> 4 move. Or we might switch to other environment. I chose the latter and won't switch back. I have enough of other work than switching DMs.
I'm sad to hear this. Unfortunately, I don't think it would have been possible to do things differently: there was no way to keep GNOME 2 and GNOME 3 at the same time with our current (read: extremely limited) resources. I'm also interested to hear what's not working for people in the fallback mode compared to a GNOME 2 experience.
If you (general you, not just Jiri) are not happy with how GNOME is developed in openSUSE, a good first step is to join the opensuse-gnome mailing list or #opensuse-gnome channel, and start discussing how to improve things. We're not horrible people hating the world. At least I hope we're not :-)

Hi, I can vouch for the opensuse GNOME team not being people hating baby eaters. :) That said, while I have been a long time KDE user and what attracted me to Suse initially was the great KDE, experience, for giggles, I have Factory running on a VM with GNOME, just to see what the experience of Gnome3 is. I have to say first the opensuse GNOME guys do an excellent job there. They are the fussiest in a good way with package submissions and they are very helpful on IRC. As for Gnome3, it *is* different and different is where I think the distaste for the new environment comes from. There are some things and concepts I like in the new Gnome. If someone finds it deficient or has issues, it is best to be specific. General ranting does no one a bit of good. Remember we are a community. While I am not an everyday user of Gnome, I am proud we offer an equally polished and refined KDE or Gnome experience for our users. It is a big selling point for the distribution.
