I do understand, that most people working on GNOME are specifically IT people, who have very specific relationships with their computers.
However, it is important to understand, that GNOME was not intended to be used only by IT professionals (or it was?)
Some people are just doing things a lot different from you guys.

I am using GNOME since 2008.
I have lots of friend and co workers that use Linux and choose GNOME.

Yet for some reason you keep removing features without even asking if real end users need them
You could just add a button to switch between two styles of behaviour, but instead of that, just removed a functionality, which in fact was crucial for me and my co workers

Yes, we can just stick with gnome 3.6 for the rest of eternity
Or give up molecular biology and start doing programming to make our own fork of GNOME 3 

But is this really the was OSS should be developed?


As the last commenter said, zoom feature was useful for some situations.
For a molecular biologist it is simply a VERY usefull feature, because we need to switch between 5+ windows at a time, to read info on them and come back to one window and work with that info. We do not usually do any actions on other windows, we just look at them and go back. Doing these with zoom is feature is MUCH faster and MUCH more convenient,in fact, before gnome 3 we used to simply print 2-3 pages and put it near our screens not to have to switch so often.

I don't think there aren't many people, who similarly need to work with many windows simultaneously
And I am absolutely sure, that the majority of GNOME users use their PC for work, not playing games.

Please, consider returning this feature and reviewing the way you develop GNOME


Thank You!
