Applets are only available in fallback mode. Some weren't ready for 3.0,
but that wasn't a blocker for 3.0; main focus for 3.0 is GNOME shell,
not fallback mode.
It would've been really nice to have gnome-applets ported, but there
just was not enough time and everything else was good enough.

Having the exact same features while the focus is different also is
unrealistic. GNOME shell has a different design goal in mind. You can
disagree with that, but release wise there is nothing wrong with how 3.0
was handled.

This from a/my release-team perspective.

Not talking about the direction of GNOME or how GNOME shell is designed
btw. I can see there is some disagreement about that :P
