In my opinion we should try using gnome for what it is, instead of making it mimic kde or cinnamon etc. Customising gnome too much makes gnome lose its identity and at that point we are better off using cinnamon. Gnome sets a certain workflow and if we want something more traditional then we shouldn't go through the hassle of making gnome to something that it isn't. Everyone should try using gnome with very little customisation and the default theming. It has cured my DE/WM hopping (for now, atleast). Great showcase of the extensions though :)

Most people don't want to learn new ways and develop new workflow. They are strongly attached to their acquired habits, even if those are inefficient. Case in point: Window's Start Menu. It is not a good design (inefficient* use of screen real-estate) but many people are attached to it and even seek to replicate it on Linux desktop (silly, IMO). * Why the hell would you limit your apps listing to a small window in a corner of the screen? Your task in that very precise moment is to find and launch an app. Therefore, why not have most of the screen display the info relevant to that task? Start Menu: a small window, with sliding menus and scrolling list -- totally inefficient. But many users are so accustomed to and familiar with this that they don't even question this design.

The big question here is: Do all of these extensions make gnome slow or unstable? I have had problems before with extensions, you update your system and some of the extensions start to act funny or stop working altogether. I think gnome has that problem, the desktop itself is so plain that you need a lot of extensions to make it usable, but those extensions are developed independently so ultimately the DE becomes a mess.

Even if you type a search string, wouldn't you want more matches to appear front and center and easily visible?

People mostly criticize Windows for being sluggish and some dumb ideas like those dumb tiles in start menu. All the Windows-like layouts in Linux work better than in the original. Linux devs just took what's good from Windows and fixed it to make it better. Also many distros use Windows-like layout, because they want it to be accesible for new users which is a good approach. People who want something different can always easily modify the interface to make it Gnome 2 dual panel style, MacOS style or something else.

It's only "most efficient" only because you are familiar with it and accustomed to it, due to time spent with it.
