Please,

You are not happy with Unity? So, I recommend you to simply move back to 
gnome or any other UI of your choice, and then set up your launcher 
where and as you want but please, stop to scare/annoy all Ubuntu 
developers! You do not feel very good or what? Unity is an ambitious UI 
and any suggestion for improvement is welcome but in constructive way ! 
To resume, stop to cry now. I get all your mail and I lost a lot of time 
because you ! ! !
