Why do you use Unity?

[Ryan Neufeld]

In regards to why I didn't switch back to Gnome 2...

I've been using Gnome 2 for as long as I've been using Linux (my first
distro was Debian Etch). Over that time, many things about Gnome have been
improved, but other things have remained the same. I realized that some of
the Gnome philosophies didn't really align with how I use my computer, and
that KDE's philosophies did. As I said, I like trying new things, and while
Ubuntu's incremental changes to Gnome 2 were nice, I was really itching to
try something completely different. Happily, it's been a good change for me.

I don't want to get too deep into it here so as not to start a flame war or
stray off topic, but hopefully that's answered some questions.
