Success! I've switched over to Cinnamon. The start style menu is

and I am happy. I'm sure I could get used to gnome-shell but my first
experience wasn't a good one.
To add:
- Cinnamon was forked from gnome-shell, so any slowness you see in
gnome-shell should be shared with Cinnamon, else the bugfix should be
upstreamed. People have been saying that Cinnamon doesn't seem to
include bugfixes made in gnome-shell though. Not verified/checked if
that is true.
- GNOME 3.8 will have a new mode with some kind of start menu and a few
other things (being vague because it is in development, not released
yet, plus I have not tried it yet)
