Comment 158 for bug 668415

This is a very disastrous situation, because everyone is complaining that
Unity have serious usability issues.
I wish so much that Mark read the Jason Perlow wrote about Unity (
http://www.zdnet.com/blog/perlow/why-ubuntu-1110-fills-me-with-rage/19103).
It summarizes everything we are complaining about.
It is not that we are trying to destroy Ubuntu. It is the other side of the
thing: we are here, investing our time to try make Ubuntu better and makes
it shine once more, as the best Linux distro ever released.
But if irritating little things are present on the desktop experience,
people will hate Ubuntu.
Think of this as if you are going to date Catherine Zeta-Jones and she is
bed smelling. Despite she is a pretty beautiful woman, many people would
prefer another girl that at least don't kill his nose.
