(Get the code!)
It was very hard for anyone to accept this(read anagram) Unity thing. The Gnome2 GUI was perfect for millions.
However, some are determined to reduce the numbers of users even more, with poorly argumented decisions.
I think someone should take things more seriously, after all they are "targeting the business sector", and Ubuntu is not some rich kid toy.
They are targeting the touchscreen market but this thing will not have a future, because of poor pointing capabilities, and 90% of the users still use the mouse and have HUGE screens like >21inch, so no need to save screen space using this Unity.
I conclude that both scenarios - with autohide and fixed panel - are bad scenarios.
Why didn't they give us a PPA or an "apt-get install unity-dodge" plugin or something like this? I would say that people accept bad news easier when you give them alternatives.
