IMO it is great. The Ubuntu dock is an improvement, also Ubuntu Gnome will support old style tray icons out of the box. Canonical is making Gnome more usable and attractive to an average user. They are fixing mistakes that Gnome developers are making. Of course that is subjective and controversial opinion, but it seems like Gnome developers are removing useful features and adding useless apps like gnome-recipes instead.
Unfortunately, real fractional scaling did not make it to this release (you can test it though). I can't wait for 18.04 which will probably have fractional scaling and will be an LTS release.

- pkaye 9y agoHave you found a replacement clock like the old Unity? Only thing I miss.
