Just wanted to say, I use Ubuntu with Gnome3 on my laptop and I love it! I really like how Gnome have re-imagined the desktop metaphor and I feel very productive and everything stays out fo my way until I need it, and then it's all there and digestible with the push of a button or nudge of the mouse. My only gripe is that it uses a love of vertical screen space which isn't ideal on a tiny 11in screen.

I was actually looking into Awesome and i3 the other day. I was thinking about trying one of them out on top of gnome to get the feel for it. Snapping widows to the edges of the screen to easily see two windows side by side is already something I rely on, so I could see the benefits of a tiling window manager.
