As a fairly recent main machine ubuntu convert (6 months or so), I'm actually a fan of unity. Like everyone I hated it at first, but now that I have got used to it I prefer it to regular gnome stuff.
I agree however that 11.10 has been a nightmare as many useful (but not hardcore) features have been removed from the UI of many packages for reasons such as "casual users are unlikely to need this". This is the problem that is likely to get me looking else where for distr.
- pekk 15y agoI spend most of my time in a terminal and I thought Gnome 2 was a mess and was never totally happy with it. I don't think 11.10 has been a nightmare at all, I have found it to be an improvement on 11.04, where most of the 'removals' you cite actually occurred. I originally started using Ubuntu for the driver support (after a while you want to work rather than compiling everything and editing files in /etc, which means you either roll your own de facto distro or you switch to something which has an 'out of the box' workability).
