A few more data points:
My parents and uncle both find it confusing still after using it for a year. The invisible menus are the biggest issue for them.
My wife who is a programmer (so a little more tech savvy ;) dislikes it and finds the window grouping to be annoying/frustrating and the tray indicators to be buggy - especially with LibreOffice.
I don't find it confusing but I prefer GNOME 2 considerably and dislike the left hand tray (on widescreen you have to move your mouse further too!). I also find it's considerably slows me down, and the extra space produced doesn't seem necessary on my 2560x1440 monitor. I now use Mac primarily, despite having been using Linux almost exclusively since 2000 (when I was 14).
I've not heard anyone IRL singing it's praises, unlike GNOME 2.
