Unity
Sorry for all the work, but it's a huge mistake to terminate the classic Ubuntu. As a front-end designer I have to tell that Unity is rather 'clumsy' it's not faster to scroll trough all those large icons. Have you guys forgotten the rules of thumb???
Clicking on the ubuntu logo in the Unity Dock:
1: The section dividers on the underside (home, settings, documents & music) are supposed to be on top (remember that this is an extra movement of the mouse, if you decide to choose another section)
2: Your eye has to read from left to right trough all these huge icons and when the app is not there, you have to scroll downwards. So know we are looking up and down too.
3: People do not like it when something is forced upon them and have to learn all over again. Look at the arrogance of Microsoft Office with all their newly implemented icons a few years back, people still don't like it.
All these extra movements are not an improvement at all. Give people a choice to install 'ubuntu classic' like in Ubuntu 11.04 at login, but even that has been removed.
Ok, when it is going to be Unity:
implement a menu structure without the icons, make that an extra option in the compiz desktop manager.
implement an option to scale down those large Unity icons (smaller than 32, because this is still very big)
When you click on an icon, those menu's with icons should size editable, because they are GIGANTIC.
I hope someone reads this, I'm looking at new other distro's right know.
