I have read the thread mentioned by Sebastian and it seems
to me that the direction in which Ubuntu (and especially Unity) 
is going is - "Be the best OS for the first 10 minutes of a completely new 
user". 
Although I think it is important to increase the exposure of normal
users to linux, and I advertise it every time I can, for me one of the main
advantages of linux is (and, in the case of Ubuntu 12.04, was) that I was
given options, which I could over time incrementally learn to customize the
system to the way I work. Does Ubuntu really strive to be an OS ONLY used by
new users?

This case seems to be a clear indication of the future - any function which 
after
10 minutes of a new user is in any confusing - remove from the system instead
of changing the defaults to wise ones. A new user, after 10 minutes, will not 
discover
how to change the behavior of the Dock, and a result will not be confused by it.

Sorry for the rant.
