Comment 1643 for bug 1

After an afternoon of testing desktop environments (with the Ubuntu
12.04 beta 1 installation as base) I want to mention the following (as
a power user at home and work): Unity won. Yes, I am still missing
things and found some small bugs, but it took me far less time to
configure the missing to get started working efficiently.

It took me a while after giving up on trying to add a "mouse hotkey"
(left edge + Button 3) for switching to virtual desktop on the left
(previous) - but I found a workaround using the bottom edge with
Button 1 and 3 for virtual desktop navigation with the mouse (3 clicks
to switch desktop is definitely too much as it is on default Unity
environment). That aside there are keyboard hotkeys and mouse actions
put quite efficiently.

I also tried classic Gnome with AWN or Cairo-Dock instead of Unity but
was not as stable and anyway stuff missing I wanted to have so came
back to Unity.
