What i was saying is that unity can be customized in most ways (except moving it's location on the screen) by default now and even more options are available through the tweak app..as i said earlier...what else would you want to do with it that would make any sense? It's a dock..it has icons that you click on to open apps...it has a search function to locates stuff...if you don't like a dock centric way of doing things, then the answer is not to try to tear unity apart and make it something else...you then simply use one of the alternate desktops...
So, bottom line is, you use unity desktop if you like it...and if you don't, you use something else...no amount of what you call "customizing" is going to make it work differently then it already does...
As was pointed out, even with say, kde...sure you can customize but you can't really change the basic STRUCTURE of how the environment works...
Kubuntu has a slab menu and a lower panel....so does mint's cinnamon..they doesn't change because you do customizations and tweaks on them...they still operate in the same manner...
Then you might argue...well i can't throw whatever icons i wanted on the unity panel or move it to the bottom...well, that's because it is set up to be best optimized as a top panel, left side dock bar and auto search on top left..and as for adding apps to the top panel, well that is what the dock is for....c'mon...have some logic here...
