You do (I hope) realize that Unity is a Gnome Shell that replaces Gnome
3's Gnome Shell, not a total replacement of Gnome, right? There will be
far more differences between Gnome 2.x and 3 than there is between Gnome
3 and Unity. And you can always remove Unity in favor of the Gnome Shell
and run Ubuntu just fine.
