What I'm missing the most in Unity, it's the "Window list" applet of the Gnome panel.

For example, I do a lot of scientific work with Scilab or Octave; sometimes, I can plot 10 to 15 graphics for a single instance of Scilab, all of which are on a window of its own. At this point, I have not found a way yet to deal with this in Unity. It affects my flow work consistently.

Maybe the solution is not with the unity side panel. I would gladly concede a 32 pixel tick bar of my screen in order to have a permanent visual layout of the multiple windows associated with a single instance like Gimp, LibreOffice or Scilab when working.

How inconvenient would you think it would be if all your firefox tabs were merged under a single tab? In fact, what we need in unity, is a way to handle applications that to not support the tabbed windows feature.
