Maybe I missed something, or I'm misinterpreting your "messing about",
but I've been using GNOME Classic for a while now (since Unity was
introduced) & I've never felt forced to mess about with GNOME 3 (I've
logged into it a couple of times, found it insufficiently
customizable, & gone back to "classic").
