Two years ago at GUADEC, the annual developer's conference for GNOME, it was announced that GNOME 2.30 would be released as GNOME 3.0. With GNOME's long-standing tradition of putting out major updates every six months, this put the GNOME 3.0 release to be in March of 2010. Last November it was then decided to delay GNOME 3.0 to September of 2010 to give developers more time to prepare on this first major overhaul to the GNOME desktop in years. It's just been announced though from this year's GUADEC conference happening this week that GNOME 3.0 will now not be released until March of 2011.

I would suggest getting real worried when there are screams* that Gnome 3.0 is ready for prime time and it should be the default not an option. Why? Just because ...

* Shorty after or prior to its official release.

Apart from that:

Can somebody explain to non-Gnome users like me - what's it that's all the fuzz is about? Is Gnome Shell more than just a new skin with some new capabilities?

The Gnome Shell mockups put me in mind of Ubuntu Netbook Remix. But UNR allows the user to switch to the old Nautilus desktop. Whether the new Gnome Shell will do the same, or not, is research I don't feel like conducting.
