A bit of background that seams to get lost in the noise is that Unity8(that only ever shipped on mobile) was QT based where as the Uninty7 that still drives the desktop is GTK based? I wonder if he really meant gnome-shell or just the platform(as unity7 already is) when he claimed that 18.04 would be based on gnome? On a unrelated note as an owner of(a now flashed to android) Ubuntu tablet i think they made the right choice here as the thing was lacking tablet mode without being a viable laptop/desktop replacement.
