Alex Graveley introduced the Gimmie user interface and panel for GNOME a few days ago. In it, Alex is grouping the most used parts of a modern UI, e.g. Documents, Applications, People, and Computer (network connections go under it too). For info, videos, and shots check here.

Revolutionary, it's a strip on your desktop that has apps, docks and information. I would have never thought of such a thing. I am telling you, THIS will be the thing that will catapult the Linux desktop into the lead.

So, it sounds like you've tried it? I couldn't really tell from just looking at the screenshots, but how do you feel it compares to other docks or the current GNOME panels? What is it that sets it apart from the others?
