The recent UI changes in Ubuntu (getting rid of X11, now this?) seem just crazy. I use Ubuntu on my machine, because I want a developer friendly OS. Recently, however, it just has not been the case: for example, OCaml 3.12 is still unavailable in apt repos (even on "unstable" branches), despite it being available in Fedora/CentOS yum repos or in macports. Same for Scala 2.8.x, Erlang R14, etc... Has the Ubuntu team completely forgotten its original constituency in pursuit of "Linux that your grandparents can use on their netbook?"? Looks like back to debian-unstable (or Fedora rawhide?) for me.
