    OR, you could:

    1) move mouse to upper left corner
    2) click the thingy
    3) type "ter"
    4) hit enter

    You can even skip 1 and 2 by pushing your windows (or whatever you want to call it) button, which acts like the upper corner thingy.

    "Super" key then type ter and hit enter. Exactly same number of keys and no mouse required.

    Recent GNOME 3.xx are actually quite accessible and keyboard friendly. Most haters here hate just to ride on the 'leet bandwagon.

    GNOME suffers from the same affliction as systemd and pulse audio before it...lots of prejudice because it was too crappy or weird when they first came out but are much improved over time. Kind of like people who still think Hyundai cars are junk because their 1985 Pony died on the road all the time, but nowadays Hyundai is as good or better than Toyota.

    Some people will never like GNOME 3.xx that's OK, just a matter of taste really. Power users obviously frustrated at lack of tweakability and advanced stuff being hidden, But in my experience it is presently the best desktop by far for beginner and casual computer users. Mum and Dad learned their way around it faster than Windows or Mas OS X, seriously!

    Minimizing in GNOME would be useless. Have you even looked at the ideas behind it? You switch applications via the activities button. There you see all windows and can choose. And you can send the current window to the back with the middle mouse button to the window title. Why would you ever want to minimize anything without the task bar as the only means of context switching? Even alt-tab shows you window previews.
