I think my comment could be ignored because many people already said
them. But I cannot resist myself to say some complaints.

In the first place, I actually liked Unity showing a launchpad with big
icons and Dash Home interface. I still like it. Then I wanted it to be
on the bottom. Then,,, huh...? not allowed? And the reason is because of
bugs to be introduced? And precious vertical space? I don't see why it
would be difficult to implement this feature. And I don't understand
other reasons either. I see a few features to be modified like: the
place of ballooned name when I put my mouse pointer on top of the icon,
and then....... anything else? Well, that's too much simplification (I
know programming because I do) but the fact that changing position of
the lauchpad would introduce bugs means a very poor initial design. And
why did they think that all monitors are on landscape position? I see
many people using portrait position. They'll waste a lot of vertical
real estate.

Anyway, eye candies are really good in Unity. I like those eye candies.
I also liked big icons listed in the Dash Home. Those designs are good.
I think my 3-yr daughter might like it more than gnome 2. But I think I
won't use it. Gnome 3 fallback mode looks much better and simpler. So...
I'll go for Edubuntu which includes forced gnome 3 fallback mode (the
reason why pure gnome 3 is not allowed is beyond my understanding
though).

The fact that I like those large icons in Dash Home makes me guess that
Metro interface of the Microsoft Windows should feel really good.
