Unity was first released in Ubuntu 10.10 Netbook Edition. And that was based on Ubuntu Netbook Remix, first released in 8.04 (they didn't necessarily share code, but the design was similar).
You would think that by 11.10, released a month ago, they would have something release-quality. I think it's just the design that people don't like. Canonical has the resources to fix bugs, but they don't necessarily have the desire to fix design defects.

- pyre 15y agoI don't have experience with 11.10 yet but I am running 11.04. 1) On a number of occassions the sidebar has entered a wedged state and required a logout tofix even though I tried to find a process to kill to force it to restart. 2) Often windows will pop to the fore-front but fail to capture focus and the previously focussed window will only have partial focus, where application level keyboard shortcuts are registered but window manager ones aren't. This mainly happens when running most windows full screen on my netbook. 3) Often the update manager window will pop up and enter some weird state whereit doesn't have focus, and it renders as if it's in fullscreen mode (no titlebar) but it's at the regular windowed size. 4) There is also the attempt to generate the osx MDI-esque interface, even though it's only hal-implemented. (from what I understand they have improved this in 11.10, but they should have waited, IMO)
