This "users are idiots, and are confused by functionality" mentality of Gnome is a disease. If you think your users are idiots, only idiots will use it. I don't use Gnome, because in striving to be simple, it has long since reached the point where it simply doesn't do what I need it to do.

It's so simple it's complicated to do anything non-trivial?

GNOME2 was pretty decent compared to GNOME3.
I have no fucking how to:
* change the starting day of the week to Monday
* change/tweak fonts
* make the date more verbose
* rename the Bluetooth device
I'd guess it's locale-dependent. In my (third world) country the week starts on monday, and GNOME 3 displays the calendar accordingly. You can change it in the system settings thing they added, but I think you'll have to logout for it to take effect.
The fonts can be changed with the riceingly named gnome-tweak-tool. You can also set a font hinting level that doesn't give eye cancer, but I guess that also depends on the font (the default of which sucks Bjarne's balls).
Also, ask this kind of questions in /g/ next time, please.
