Debian has done this. At the login screen (using gdm3) there is an
option to choose Classic which gives all the "goodness" of Gnome3 with
the simplicity of Gnome2 menus.
I think what is happening with interface designers is that they are
assuming we are all going to be using tablets or screens with touch
interfaces and recent "improved" GUIs are designed with this in mind.
I am of the old school that thinks touching the screen with greasy
fingers is not a good idea!!
