It sounds like you just don't like the default settings, extensions, or apps. That's not really a problem with gnome IMO. It provides a good platform for getting things right, and it's up to the distros to tweak it accordingly. Ubuntu has taken a step towards doing that with giving you Dash to Dock by default.
