I never said extensions were needed; sorry if it came across that way. 
What I meant to say is that, if GNOME Shell feels incomplete for you, 
you can extend it with extensions. The only extension that I'm currently 
using right now is the places menu (and I don't even use it, so I might 
remove it). I'm very content with how GNOME 3 works as-is, and the only 
thing I've used GNOME Tweak Tool for was changing my GTK3, Mutter, and 
icon themes.
