A clarification: The classic look of Gnome 2 sort of lives in RHEL 7 since it will run Gnome 3 with Classic Mode[1] meaning that all that effort for a new UI/UX is wasted as the looks and the "user's workflows" will be the same as it was under RHEL 6 (IOW Gnome 2 like).
I take the point, and it is worth emphasising that the 'classic' mode is the default for RHEL7 installations when you choose Gnome as the desktop environment. However the 'mode' is skin deep - no customisation, can't remove panels, can't add panel apps &c.
I wonder how many EL 7 desktop users will opt for the KDE desktop now that both are presented as equal choices on installation?
