I used Linux (Slackware, Debian then Ubuntu) since 2000, and as my main OS since 2002. Last year I had to switch to Mac OS in order to develop for iOS, I have several issues with Mac OS, mainly I don't like their window management at all (when I close a window I want the app to be closed, I don't like the menu bad not integrated with the windows, I don't like how works the resizing,...).
But when I see what is gnome on Ubuntu 11.04, I don't really know if I would like to switch back know. I don't know how to put it, but my desktop pc is _not_ a touchscreen, I don't understand why they changed everything as if it everything was an iPad... Moreover it seems to me that the state of Firefox (yeah I'm still rooting for FF) on Linux is largely lagging behind win/mac at least for its UI. And worst of all, I'm feeling that a lot of skilled developers have switched to Mac OS recently and putting their skills to develop .app instead of .deb now.
I'm actually a bit sad because I love Linux more than anything.
