Yes, it is.

My main reason is this (it has to do with me starting with Windows 3.1
and those functionalities are in Windows even today I have to use and
support at work):
1. All tray icons are visible so I can see if message or mail
comes without need to move more then eyeball.
2. I can put icon on a desktop, document or link to app.
3. I can easily see all open apps and swith to them using mouse
4. I can put links to panel in top/bottom of the screen, visible and
easily accessible.
5. I want easily visible and accessible multiple workspaces I can switch
to. I like separate opened apps several per workspace custered for a
specifig (simultanious) job/task, Firefox in one Krusader in another, VM
i third, something else in forth...Then I can switch between apps IN
THAT workspace, I do not have to choose from dozes of windows (like with
Alt+Tab)

If Gnome 3 (Classic) can be configured to do such things in one go
(chosing a theme "Gnome 2") I would switch to it.
