Andrex : complains about Elementary only being a visual style then posts a link to animated notifications that enhances the aesthetics of his favorite shell 
I didn't complain about Elementary's visual style (although I don't really care for it, it's nice the icons are consistent but they're kinda ugly IMO.) I complained that it rips off various UI and UX elements from OS X, which has a UI I don't really care for.
On top of that, the best features of Elementary are unmodified Gnome 3 features.
On the other hand, the animations for the 3.10 lock screen are fricking ace. Just more absurd levels of polish that I love Gnome Shell for.
