Hello

I installed 11.04 about a week ago.  I tend to share a lot of Chris Robinsons experience and opinion.

In my long years of using GUI's I have to say I am find Unity the less intuitive to adjust to. Have tried all
the Windows flavors (except Win 7), Apple/Mac, OS/2, several Linux desktops (KDE, Gnome, Xfce, Icewvm, lxed,
and several lightweight ones) but Unity is the one that beats me!! 1. Not very configurable, or if it is, it is
not intuitively/obviously so.  I still have not worked out how to configure out the Launcher panel (add or
remove stuff) and if it takes too long to figure out, its bad.  I would also like it to hide away, or be
smaller.

But I can see why other users like it, if they like the launcher paradigm.  Perhaps when it is more
configurable, I might start to convert to it.

I am back to using 11.04 with Gnome and I think it is great.  Yes I think there will be a lot of disatisfied
users.  But they will always be able to go back to Gnome.  But 11.10 will be the issue when Gnome will not be
availale. 

May be more users will then try Kubuntu?  

Cheers
Daniel.
