Most of all, I did Fossbox' first workshop on 're-use with Ubuntu' with 11.04 a couple of months ago and all the non-techies really loved the Unity interface. I thought they'd never work it out as it seems ridiculously complicated to me but it turns out if you're not used to GNOME classic, it's actually easier to learn because it's like a smartphone with an app store. So s'pose that's the proof of the pudding. People aren't expecting to be able to customise their desktop experience so that's not bothering them either.
Well said Paula! I think the techies just have to stop wingeing - Windows users are going to love the final version. And I'm sure once Unity is finalised, it will become far easier for us to hack. Meantime I'm more than happy to run with it.
