I love Unity. I love that you can start things by typing just a little of what you are looking for.
My normal environment is OS X, and I've grown used to using Spotlight to start apps. Cmd-Space + a few keystrokes, hit Enter. The only time I use the Dock is to resurrect the occasional hidden window. I'm too lazy to bother configuring the Dock. Start menus, even gorgeous ones like the OS X Dock, are so 1999.
Similarly, when I browse the web, I rely on keystroke completion and search, not on bookmarks. I'm too lazy to maintain my bookmarks

That is great when you know what you are looking for... but when the image editor is called GIMP, or KRITA, the audio player is called rythmbox, the video player is called VLC, then you need to know those names in order to find what you are looking for. IIRC common users went to Windows running from having to remember MSDOS commands.
- scorpioxy 14y agoI don't have that problem. I just type the word "music" and I get all the players. Typing "video" will also get me my video players. I find this to be a nice feature. I am a developer but don't have the time to tinker with every little on my desktop. For me, and with the newest version of unity, it works well enough to let me get on with my work.
- thwarted 14y agoAh, this old argument again. And when I just want to create a spreadsheet, I have to know the app is named Excel, or when I want to play a game I have to type steam.
