Let's do something about it.
Ubuntu has really been screwed by Unity. It makes any practical use of Ubuntu in a work or development environment non-existent. Somebody register saveubuntu.com or an equivalent and lets all put up a public poll, get noticed, and stick it in the Ubuntu developers face. I would be willing to help out with creating the site and hosting it on my server as I am sure would others.
