The minimize and maximize buttons on the titlebar have lost much of their utility in GNOME 3: the minimize functionality is largely superceded by the ability to switch windows in the overview and conveniently use multiple workspaces, while the maximize functionality is available by drag to the top gesture or double clicking on the title bar. Removing these buttons significantly cleans up the default appearance and avoids exposing a half-done implementation of minimization. http://mail.gnome.org/archives/gnome-shell-list/2011-February/msg00192.html https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=604237
GNOME Shell provides core user interface functions for the GNOME 3 desktop, like switching to windows and launching applications. GNOME Shell takes advantage of the capabilities of modern graphics hardware and introduces innovative user interface concepts to provide a visually attractive and easy to use experience.
