As of 2015, critical reception is much more positive.[48] Debian, a
Linux distribution that had historically used GNOME 2, switched to Xfce
when GNOME 3 was released. However, Debian readopted GNOME 3 in time
for the release of Debian 8 "Jessie".[49][48] Linus Torvalds, the
creator of the Linux kernel, switched back to GNOME 3 in 2013.[48]

Fedora and RHEL also use gnome 3 by default.

Gnome 3 was kinda annoying but has improved with every release. If
you use the keyboard shortcuts, virtual desktops and some nice
extensions it's a nice DE. And with proper icons (numix) it also looks
great.
