I use windows, OS X and Ubuntu on a daily basis. And IMO Unity is the better DE. But I wouldn't say Ubuntu is the better overall UX. OS X has my least favorite DE. But I think it has the better overall experience. I've been using OS X for about 2 years now and I can't remember a time it came out with stuff for me to solve. On Ubuntu recently I had to change the default kernel it was using and recompile my graphic drivers after an update, not that hard a task but not something an end user should have to go through. I've used Ubuntu 12 and am now using the 14 and it really has improved a lot both on reliability and UX, but it may take a lot of work to get it to be reliable depending on your hardware. My dream DE would be something like DWM but without the tiling stuff, more features included out of the box and written in a higher level language.
