Unity is still there in 20.04 and usable, though no longer default.
It had a long run, and it’s still more usable than gnome3 for power users. Unity wasn’t successful but wasn’t deficient.
Upstart wasn’t as good as systemd that cane after it or daemontools that came before, but it WAS an upgrade compared to the knit scripts.
Ubuntu/canonical are not afraid to try, which I think deserves more credit.
They don’t have the clout/pockets to push less popular things like systemd the way RedHat does, until all the problems are sufficiently minor.
Oh, and snap and Mir we’re both attempts at grabbing control and both deserve the scorn.
