> As a developer, Unity's handling of multiple terminal windows is extraordinarily ham-fisted. Say you have a web browser and three terminal windows I hesitate to defend Unity, but why would you open multiple terminal windows? gnome-terminal supports tabs natively, and tmux offers an even better multiplexing solution that works with any terminal emulator. > I'm unfortunately committed at this point I assume you mean you're committed to Oneric, but you can stay on Oneric without sticking with Unity. Gnome 3 and XFCE are both viable options that feel a lot more finished than Unity.
