Why do you use Unity?

[Cory Sadowski]

Partially because my ideal GNOME2 setup, which I loved, requires a
working Compiz, and as I noted, Compiz is horribly, horribly
tempermental this release. That and I've long had kind of an
attraction towards KDE since I first started Ubuntu back in 2007. So
those two factors, combined with the fact that the KDE compositor,
KWin, actually works and does most of the important things Compiz did
for me, leads me to go to KDE. Assuming Compiz actually worked, I'd
still have to abandon GNOME2 due to the next release dropping it, if I
understand correctly. I figured I may as well migrate now if I'm going
to do so.
