Jorge has been a very strong advocate of Unity. He's worked pretty
hard to help get people updated with what's going on.

+1. It's one of those videos that really helps cement how a 'normal'
user might use Unity.

I've been getting quite frustrated with Unity myself recently. Today I
used 10.04 (Lucid) for a significant chunk of time and found it faster
and more efficient than Unity. That clearly flies in the face of the
received wisdom from those who designed Unity, or it could be that 6+
years of GNOME 2.x desktop is hard to break :)
