As a long time Ubuntu user the new "Software Center" is a huge disappointment. Just browsing it is enough to freeze and sometimes crash my computer; Installing packages is difficult and the UI is slow and unresponsive. Unity also frequently crashed on me for seemingly no reason.
Also, drivers are just as bad as they were back in 8.04. I still can't watch a fullscreen YouTube video without terrible stuttering, screen tearing or audio lagging. And before you say so, no, it's not my computer hardware that's causing these problems.

If you are a long-time Linux user then you should not have a problem using apt-get or synaptic, or installing xubuntu-desktop or whatever you want. You should also be familiar with the concept that some hardware does not come with good Linux drivers. Ho hum. Any popular linux distro lets you choose your desktop and almost everything else, the main reason to choose one distro over another is your faith in their package curation
