Personally I want a window manage that lets me arrange my terminal windows
(although I mostly run them fullscreen with tabs for each session),
lets me open programs (preferable with alf+F2 and typing in what I
want), and has a minimize, maxmimize and close botton on the window.
I don't care about icons on the desktop (it's always covered up anyhow,
so useless place for icons), nor file managers (I have a shell thank
you very much).  And of course alt+tab has to cycle through windows,
preferably in most recently viewed to least recently viewed order.

Everything gnome 3 has done is wrong.  It's developers have no clue what
they are doing and sure don't care about user feedback.  They hijacked
a project name, threw everything away and started over with a terrible
idea of what a desktop should be, with no regard to users.
