Gnome 3 is more futuristic and takes some time to get used to, but even my family is transitioning to it. Gnome 2 is similar to classic XP.
I'm using Mint 12 from a Pico-C flash drive which I can bring up on any computer that boots from a USB flash drive.
I recently gave Mint 12 to 2 college students to use (without giving them any instruction) and they both had no problems with Gnome 3 and like it a lot.
Aside from finding a few commands, I don't see the problem with it. In fact, selecting open windows works very well.
