Despite the occasional glitches, I've come to like Unity a lot. Unity is invisible when I'm working. It shows up only when I invoke it with the <super> key. It uses screen real estate very efficiently. It lets me open my most often used apps with only two keystrokes (I've mapped <super><0> to <super><9> to my most used apps). It makes everything else quickly reachable with a few keystrokes via <super><a> and <super><f>. It lets me quickly divide screen real estate among windows with <Ctrl><Alt> and the numeric keypad. The next version (12.04) looks set to add many features specific to multi-display setups. It's great for people who want their desktop environment to get out of their way and prefer to use keyboard instead of mouse.
