He makes a fair point. Speaking as someone with something of a dislike
of Unity myself, it's still clear from even just a quick bash around
it that most of the complaints aren't based on anything that's
actual usage of it.

Seriously, give it a go. Even if it's not pleasant and a bit buggy,
it's not the heap of fail that people keep making it out to be. It's
perfectly usable to anyone who managed to suffer using Gnome several
years ago, for example.

My VM was installed on 17th Feb, and I've definitely had alt+tab since
then.
