Unity actually is
customizable, perhaps not to the extent that power users like. I'm
hoping that a simple user-friendly tool will be available in 11.04 to
change the settings without needing to dig around CCSM or dconf-editor.
I think you mean 11.10? After all the bad press, I finally tried Unity
out yesterday, and was shocked to discover that I like it quite a bit
and think it has tremendous potential -- nice work, guys. I'll post a
list of suggested updates for Unity 2.0 after a bit more
experimentation. (Also note by way of setting a frame of reference that
I prefer using text-keyboard-based interfaces and hate smart phones and
iPads; hence particularly appreciate the care given to keyboard
shortcuts/equivalents.)
Meanwhile, this excellent reference might be of use to people trying to
get up to speed quickly using Unity. Note especially the links on
customizing Unity; in particular, disabling the global application menu,
which is the single most unfortunate design decision for point-to-focus
users (and frankly anyone that works with non-maximized windows):
