One year ago I wrote a review of Gnome 2. Some people thought I was harsh, others thought I was fair, point is, I always write what I think and surely Gnome 2.0 didn't have the polish or stability of a .0 release. But one year has passed. Gnome 2.2.1 is out, and I must say one thing: I am starting to get impressed by the effort and the clean interface Gnome 2 is now offering. Update: Screenshots inside.

It's a bit funny that you linked to that app, both me and Jeff Waugh have written to that guy now asking him to use the HIG button order, but he refuses becuase he wants to remain consistant with the Windows client, NOT the reset of the desktop (he claims he switches between them a lot and it would put him off).
Menu editing is being worked on by Havoc right now. File associations by jrb. Copy and paste of "advanced" data types basically relies upon having their serialization formats standardised over at freedesktop.org - there are lots of little things like that which need doing.
Finally I'd note that Gnome has loads of options, but the more "hard core" ones are only available in GConf, not the UI. No big deal really.
