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

[Krishnakant Mane]

Still no confirmation for my query on some thing similar to Heads up 
display?
Is such a feature there in Gnome 3.6?
Also, I wish to know from all the eminent list members, is Gnome shell 
the right path to go for a long terms solution?
Is it any faster in performance as compared to Unity?
Happy hacking.

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.
