(Get the code!)
Why is the dependency wrong? libunity is required so that the integration works on systems with Unity installed (note, the dependency is libunity, and not unity). Making it a recommends adds extra run-time complexity to check if things are installed.

I've no idea what this rant even means, but nothing is being forced here. There is a dependency on a small library to make integration work on Unity (you know, our default shell), but nothing is actually forcing you to install or use Unity.
