+1 on issues vs priority.
I am thinking myself that if gnome shell gets a bit more accessible in 
next few months and if there is a good talking installer for some other 
distro, I will go away from Ubuntu and shift to that distro full time.
Just tryed Sonar and would wait for manjaro to become stable enough for use.
I find gnome shell 3.8 very accessible, except taht there is nothing 
like heads up display and the apps when loaded are not announced.
Notifications such as wifi connections connected or disconnected is not 
announced.
So, even now I can give 8 out of 10 to gnome shell accessibility and 
keeping more hopes on improvements over there rather than Unity.
Happy hacking.
