so the dash to dock thing makes Gnome3 more like a Mac?

Eeewww! 

:-)

The dots to show which virtual screen hosts the application is actually pretty cool. I'm assuming a click will change to that screen and the application will gain focus?

I'm not a UI person. I tend to adapt to most of the defaults that ship. I think the only custom tweak I have is to replace caps lock with a dual shift key press. My XPS 13 has a Fn button that operates very nicely with the arrow keys even in vim. I've not seen that key work this nicely on other systems on the same version of Fedora (same on CentOS7 as well).

Every time you stop a school, you will have to build a jail. What you
gain at one end you lose at the other. It's like feeding a dog on his
own tail. It won't fatten the dog.
