[ubuntu-uk] Life without unity

[Gareth France]

I'm sure, but my point is that the fallback mode should feel natural to 
me. After all it's based on what I have been using since Windows 95. 
However I've gotten used to Unity. So my point was, have those who 
dislike it really given it enough of a chance to get used to it? Not all 
of them I bet!
