If you haven't given the new interfaces a look, you'll find that they
(Unity, GNOME-shell, GNOME 3) all copy Apple's, "look, I  can't read,
but I can operate a computer," paradigm.  The ideas of giving all
programs the same title bar (OK, it changes with focus) and making
every menu  choice an icon instead of text is just brain-dead if you
ask me. OTOH, I can read well.  I suppose that if I were half educated
and half competent I would also welcome the dumbing down of all
interfaces.
I really, really don't want to scroll through three or four pages of
icons to find that which would be on the first page of a text menu, no
matter how cool the Ipad might be.

Don't let's even talk about the idea of full screen defaults for all
programs.
