Just wanted to chime in and say that hiding window control buttons doesn't bother me at all.
What bothers me is the lack of a "throw-the pointer-to-reveal-Dash" location on the screen. With current design, you have to aim at the Ubuntu button and click on it. I really really think this makes the Dash too far away from the user; it should be more prominent and accessible. It should be more than "yet-another-start-menu". Am I the only one who thinks this way??
