I thought the above snippet from my original post was fairly clear as to 
the limitations of Unity that I experienced.  By the way, I did follow 
up with a "Part II" to the original post a couple of days later but it 
was never posted on the list (guess it was moved somewhere else).  In a 
nutshell, Unity does not live up to the hype, it is very restricting as 
far as how the user can customize it to the individual's work flow and 
the list of keyboard shortcuts borders on insane.

But it sure is pretty (assuming you have the graphics power to run it).
