Ugh. As a not-really-power user I can't stand Gnome 3, not least because I have to Google how to and then install a tool just to make useful settings accessible. Everything in Tweaks should be in the default settings panel.
I remember I dumped GNOME around 2.4, due to discussions about print UI and how close to every setting should be removed from it, possibly retained in Gconf. At the time there was still the idea that "sure, we lost a lot of settings and features in rewrite between 1.4 and 2.0, but we're going to add them back"... and the printing discussion gave me red alert of moving to "developers know best". The further evolution of GNOME only reinforced that feeling.
That is exactly Mac for me.
Ah yes, the "every preference has a cost" philosophy which leads people into deciding things like that everyone on Earth is ok with a One True Colorscheme (Adwaita) and a One True Font (Cantarell). People who suffer from halation due to the contrast of the dark version of Adwaita and people who like fonts besides Cantarell don't exist.
