I guess I'm confused about the whole issue. Personally I hate Unity, which is why I installed Gnome 2. Isn't that the point of Linux? Being able to customize

I guess I'm confused about the whole issue. Personally I hate Unity, which is why I installed Gnome 2. Isn't that the point of Linux? Being able to customize it to your liking?

Agreed, I think Ubuntu is still a great distro for 'just working' on most machines I've installed it on. I dislike Unity too, so I install a couple of packages, grab my xmonad config file from github and get back to work.

I am happy with gnome 2 as well for the most part. Is it still under active development?

  No. There's a fork, though, called Mate (https://github.com/Perberos/Mate-Desktop-Environment https://github.com/Perberos/Mate-Desktop-Environment).

    From the github page: "MATE Desktop Environment, a non-intuitive and unattractive desktop for users, using traditional computing desktop metaphor." Excellent! Just what I want! I wonder how active this will be and whether it will see any improvements or just maintenance
