Comment 48 for bug 689733

my impression is that you don't have any use for the extra layer of organization that having more than one workspace provides

I understand
this morning I'm on a 10.10 gnome 2 notebook, It only has 2 ws
I can't even remember the last time the 2nd one was open
most of the time I don't have more than a few windows open
clementine, chrome, possibly transmission
lots of tabs on the browser

I would expect that the above describes the user unity is targeting
many of the growing pains will be worked out over time
with unity being default desktop environment [canonical is distancing itself from all the forks]
& the beta of the moment being the most prominently displayed on the home page, makes the marketing incomprehensible
if the target market is new casual user, unity may be ready for them
the mid level users like me, may have a usable DE in a couple years
the code monkeys are almost always able to adapt

it appears that ubun is trying to cater to a different set of users than had been the base
the real question is how to have a product that pays the bills & grows
