Linus Torvalds has some views on Gnome3 and the unofficial extensions - And boy do I agree.

Jupp aint that the truth
(As you can see his words do not pass our bad words filter - but since it is the chief penguin I'll translate : he is saying Who do i need to f u c k.....)
Gnome3 could be good if they made many of the extensions official and supported them. It is something about the attitude that does not compute....

I have to say, I used to think that the "extensions.gnome.org" approach to fixing the deficiencies in gnome3 was really cool. It made me go "Ahh, now I can fix the problems I had".
But it turns out to be a major pain, when it basically ends up as a really magical way to customize your desktop, which breaks randomly and has no sane way to do across machines. And the extensions seem to randomly break when you update the system, so they don't work as well as they would if they just came with the base system.

Who do I need to word my grandmother dislikes to get standard font size and panel options, instead of having to wade through this kind of "unsupported and random extensions that look ugly as hell and break randomly" crap? Maybe if I told people I was going blind, and claimed the font size was an "accessibility" feature, people would care? Never mind that I want to make the fonts smaller.
