I tried Gnome 3 and really disliked it as well.  It felt counter-
intuitive to the way I work, which is admittedly simpler than some.
I didn't like Gnome 2 either, because I don't have much use for 
bells and whistles and widgets.  Temperature and weather on my
desktop?  No thank you!

I have been using Fluxbox as my window manager for years now and I
like it very much.  It's lightweight, does what I want and not much
more.  If you like the Fedora environment (and there's a lot to like),
try just changing your window manager.  Besides Fluxbox, there's XFCE,
which people seem to like as a Gnomish desktop,
