i like natty...except for unity. i'm sure unity is great on a smaller screen, but on a 2560x1440 panel having a window take over the entire desktop when one maximizes it is a deal-breaker. tried to turn off this setting via compizconfig and the old way of doing it through the appearance > windows > maximize vertically setting (which i really loved) but the narwhal disobeys me and impales me with its unpleasant horn unless i go back to classic mode with no effects. after getting all excited about 11.04, downloading it, reloading, and then being disappointed, i'm now back on 10.10. not crazy about mint's layout either, nor am i a huge fan of gnome3. i guess if i were going to make a major change at this point, it would be to xmonad (which i currently play with once in a while) and not to unity. at least xmonad is fast and intelligent.
