I was on gnome classic for a couple of months. I am trying unity for the next few weeks. I think the major issue for me is:

Basically, the unity bar is crowded due to apps on other workspaces. Also, switching between windows of the same app is slower (I think I can deal with this issue though).
Performance-wise, gnome3 is snappier than unity (compiz kind of sucks).
- cs702 14y agovelodrome: You can make the Unity launcher (i.e., the sidebar) less crowded. Just run "Appearance" (<Super><A>, "appea", <Enter>) and change Launcher Icon Size to 32. I had to do this myself for the same reason. You can also switch quickly between all windows of the currently focused app -- just tap <Alt><`>. (The <`> key is right above the <Tab> key on US keyboards.) Also, note that the little triangular pointers on the launcher are different for applications running in the current workspace versus those running in other workspaces.
