It's not that stable: I'm running 3.2 and it is full of memory leaks, to the point that I have to restart it every so often when it's using upward of 700MB of ram.

Other than that, I agree. It can be hid away nicely so that u can work in full screen bliss, and the extension ecosystem looks like it could rival Firefox interms of variety.

(Edit: maybe the leaks are caused by the extensions I'm running, and hopefully it gets better in later versions.)

FWIW, there have been several releases that may have addressed this.

  3.0 	April 2011 
  3.2 	September 2011 
  3.4 	March 2012 
  3.6 	September 2012
  3.8 	March 2013

Gnome has improved much since 3.2.
