    I'm not a fan of the Unity or Shell interfaces.

    Tried them in the current Natty builds and wasn't for me!

    Personally it feels too "RealEstate Hungry", it's taking up too much of my 15" laptop screen.

    If I upgrade to Natty the first thing would be to remove Unity, if that's not possible to do cleanly, then it's back to 10.10 for me or another Distro..

    Well Unity is coming with it after all... may as well give it a spin and see how it works out for me.

    I was a stubborn Compiz+Gnome Panel+AWN user, but I just finished compiling the latest Gnome Shell in 10.10 today, and I'm VERY impressed. Other then adding a small AWN with a few vital quick-access applets (task manager, main menu for apps missing from activities menu, terminal) and changing the size of the Application icons in the Activities menu, I've just stuck to the default Shell.

    It's slightly sluggish when I'm multitasking (my computer's fault I assure you, it was even sluggish when I multitasked in LXDE), and it has a bit of a learning curve (then again, what new things don't?), but other then that it's far more comfortable, productive, and enjoyable to use then anything else I've used, including Gnome 2, KDE 4.6, and the latest XFCE and LXDE.

    I won't be using unity... even though I will continue to test and support it with those who will be using it in my local area.

    Personally I can't stand dock bars... they remind me too much of macs. I can't stand global menus either, they remind me too much of macs. Too much of it reminds me about macs. However, that's why I like Linux so much... I can change what I don't like, a complete 180 degree approach from that found on a mac.

    Edit: I wonder if the artwork is still done on a mac and not using some of the free/open software found on Linux?

    Not sure... GNOME shell is actually pretty good now from what I've seen but my computer isn't really powerful enough to run it as well as I'd like to. So, no to GNOME shell. Unity I haven't really given a go yet. If I do use Unity though it will probably be the 2D version. GNOME classic? No. I like it, but I'd rather use something that's being actively developed and improved... Like KDE, LXDE, or XFCE...

    I'll probably end up going with Xubuntu in the end.
