I may be missing the point here but... 1) the netbook-launcher in Lucid did pretty much the same job: transform the free-desktop structures into a flat structure. Why not do the same here? 2) Using the menu editor you could (Lucid UNE) hide unnecessary cruft from appearing under the wine folder in netbook-launcher (like the uninstall programs) 3) Unity normally runs on netbooks. How many wine items would a user install? If they are like me they would attempt M$ Office, as OO does not handle all Word and Powerpoint files well. They might even install some(few) other windows programs for which they have no linux equivalent. But thousands? Come on, wine does not work that well yet. 4) A lot of installed programs don't show up now. In my case for example nautilus. Don't know why. 5) A lot of unnecessary junk does appear. I have configuration editor 3x. In the past I would just hide 2 of them using the menu editor.
As it stands now, netbook-launcher did much the same as Unity, but without the limitations. But I already start to like Unity and would not want to replace it permanently. But I think half a year is a long wait, to long. For the most visible app in Ubuntu netbook, I think it deserves a high priority to get fixed.
