“MGSE makes GNOME 3 much, much better than it would be
otherwise. In fact, I actually found myself liking GNOME 3 in Linux
Mint 12 where I more or less despised it while using Fedora 16.

“Do you want to know what my initial reaction was to GNOME 3 in
Fedora 16? Remember that scene in Spinal Tap where they are talking
about one of Spinal Tap’s albums called “Shark Sandwich” and the
film’s narrator mentions that a reviewer published a two-word
review simply called “Shit Sandwich.” Well that’s how I felt about
GNOME 3; it was a shit sandwich until the Linux Mint developers got
their hands on it.”
