unity is such bull :)

unless you've a touchscreen it slows you down - i find it more confusing - plus the name is nonsense, how things are more unified is beyond me, if anything breaking from GNOME makes it less unified

User: don't use it then. it's a simple solution

<Mod2>
User: I find Unity faster persoanlly.

<User>
yeah it's great for occasional-use devices like tablets and family pc's but for productivity it stinks

<Mod2>
User: depends on the user entrely. Plus it's optional, so who cares.

Mod2, yeah but it's opt-out though... and it's not like a setting either way, you physically have to uninstall Unity and install other packages to get an alternative

User: install Xubuntu, Lubuntu or Kubuntu, no Unity

Mod2, already have :) been a xubuntu user for years. including gnome-panel on the cd wouldn't have killed anyone though... at least then if you upgrade you can get a dialog saying "new interface or old?"

Mod2: That's like saying install Windows7 if you don't like Unity! Unity needs better options. It doesn't need to force users to install entirely unfamiliar desktop environments just to get out of a problem that Unity causes.
