I thoroughly disagree with this assessment of UI/X design for the
following reasons:
1. It flies in the face of Ubuntu's "Linux for Humans" motto
2. There is a risk of over-intellectualising UI/X design
IMHO an important point. I use Linux because it let's me the choice how
to do a thing and how the user interface should look and behave. And I
assume I'm not the only one seeing it that way.
Regarding that, the first step in Unity is a huge step backwards. e.g. I
really miss the the ability to configure the Gnome panel any way I want to.
So please keep that in mind and let's hope, that the next step is again
a big step forward. (as it is regarding the visual design by now, but
usability and reconfigurability have to be improved.)
