> He learned to use Unity within just a few minutes I'm an expert and I still haven't figured out how to use Unity. If I have so much trouble that every time I've tried it, within a few hours I give up and install traditional Gnome, LXDE, or Mint with Cinnamon, I can scarcely imagine how bad it would be for a novice. First of all, it crashes a lot. Secondly, you have to use some magical key combination to start multiple instances of an application. Thirdly, Unity has no easy discoverability of apps. If I want to see what I have installed on my system using a traditional desktop, I can just read through the Start menu [1] and its submenu. Unity has no way to do this that I can figure out. Yes, you can type an app name, but a novice user might not know their Internet browser is called "Firefox" or their email client is called "Thunderbird." (Heck, when I started using Ubuntu, it took me a while to figure out that Totem was a media player, Nautilus was a file manager, and Vinagre was a remote desktop client.) The point is that typing "video" or "file" or "vnc" won't point you in the right direction. In short, Unity sucks and I wouldn't recommend it to anyone. [1] I heard Windows 8 is ditching it too, at least by default.
