how good will be the gnome shell edition of Ubuntu 13.04?

[Dave Hunt]

Hi,

When I used a daily build of Ubuntu GNOME 13.04, from 2 days ago, I 
found that wireless signal strength and battery status were accessible. 
  In my Opensuse installation, which has GNOME Shell 3.6, signal 
strength is not read, unless I use the fallback mode, but, Suse still 
has Orca 3.6.3, whereas Ubuntu 13.04 has Orca 3.8, and associated 
accessibility infrastructure.



Best Regards,



D.  A.  H.

There are still bugs with navigating the dash and the launcher, to the point where I would not recommend it for day to day use for most users. GNOME shell 3.6 is known to be quite usable. It is quite easy to be productive under GNOME shell 3.6, having almost everything at your fingertips. I don't think you get wireless network strength though, but I think thats a small sisue, and newer versions of the shell will likely have this fixed.
