What does this mean for Ubuntu-based distributions that offer a more traditional look and feel, like Linux Mint? I jumped ship for Linux Mint when Ubuntu shoved Unity down everyone's throats. I like the balance Ubuntu strikes between good hardware support, recent packages, proprietary graphics support, and the "it just works" factor. I just want all of that without the Unity mess. Unity might be good on a cell phone, but it was really crashy and impossible to do any work, because every time I've attempted to use Unity, I couldn't figure out how to do the simplest things with the GUI, and ended up switching within days. It sounds like the new window manager will only support Unity.
