Comment 78 for bug 882274

Here's a recent Slashdot writeup of the situation, with many great comments as usual (a.k.a., "whining"):

It's a depressing read.

(Also, of course, sensational: there's no actual proof that Ubuntu users are switching to Mint in droves.)

Again, I don't think any fault here is Unity itself, which I am convinced is a terrific and well thought-out shell, but in the abject failure of the Ubuntu project to satisfyingly explain Unity and its evolution to Ubuntu's own community of users.
