I did the upgrade but I noticed no difference whatsoever to the 13.x that I had been using before. I actually wasn't hoping for any changes other than being able to run 'skype' again (I broke the 32 bit libraries that skype 'needs'). Had it not been for skype working again and a small change in how the folders are rendered in the 'save file' dialog box, I don't think I would have guessed that my OS had been upgraded. Maybe that is the future of upgrades - no perceptible difference whatsoever.

LTS releases rarely introduce huge changes, they just focus on increasing stability and polishing features from the preceeding non-LTS releases.

The changes were small, but there were definitely improvements to the UI. More smooth transitions including the lock screen which now uses lightdm instead of GTK. The windows are now without borders so it looks much cleaner.

  I think you mean instead of GDM, not GTK.

there's a few user-visible changes, but for the most part they are hidden behind a setting so you won't see them unless you enable them. personally, this one is my favourite: http://imgur.com/lTncRkz http://imgur.com/lTncRkz

  From 13.10 to 14.04 there are also an incredible amount of polish and small touches around Unity. If you aren't a consistent non-LTS user, you might miss them, but there are a lot of them and they really add to the experience.
