Unity ?

[Doooh Head]

I have been "upgrading" my Ubuntu since v5.  I try to keep an open mind about all of the changes that Canonical is attempting.  I will upgrade to 11.04 as well.  I know my initial reaction to Unity won't be favourable to begin with but I will give it a shot and see what happens.  I wasn't too keen on the idea of moving the window controls to the left side of the window but I have since gotten used to it and sometimes wish I could do the same thing on my work XP pc.
I have been semi-following this whole Unity/Gnome issue and see the odd article here and there showing off some of the new "designs" and like you I wonder why these kinds of changes are being made without first solidifying other aspects of the OS that "should" be fixed or at least "bettered".

This debate over Unity and Gnome seems a little acrimonious ! It would seem that Unity will not bring unity to Ubuntu. I am quite happy with 10.10 and have recommended it to others. Until I see the 11.04 I won't be pushing it. 

I have enjoyed my Ubuntu uniqueness but wonder the wisdom of chasing the end user with 'difference' rather than 'substance' . Getting all the extraneousness bits to work easily would be more useful to me than 'a new UI'. Those Windows or Mac only irritations when dealing with external devices  for example.
