I feel this too, and it has affected me so much that I have given it some considerable thought, because I live and breath Ubuntu. So I have thought deep and long to try to analyse what is happening. I think I see the issues fairly clearly now, although unfortunately there are still surprisingly strong emotional responses in me which are demotivating, to the detriment of Ubuntu. I posted a summary of my conclusions as one of the comments on the Marcel Gagne blog ' Who cares about your dang Desktop Environment?!', as comment link 'I like Unity, Sorry' http://marcelgagne.com/comment/5618#comment-5618 -- alan cocks -- ubuntu-uk@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-uk https://wiki.ubuntu.com/UKTeam/
