Even when I don't like the changes, I still like the idea they're experimenting with the UI. But I really wish they had added a "just turn this nonsense off" option in the configuration too. The tweaks never play nice with software from outside of the ubuntu repos. A few commercial products running on Linux are important to our workflow. If they have a GUI, chances are high that there is a visual bug that makes the program unusable and that the root cause is a Unity feature. For example, the thing that moves the menu to the top bar meant no menu at all. Something else meant 1 quadrant of the application window just wouldn't paint at all, still no idea why on that one. Wasting half a day implementing a workaroud here and there isn't the worst thing in the world, but it's a low enough number of special purpose machines that I always threaten the next time I'll just migrate them to another DE.
