If Unity's interface is meant for a tablet or a smartphone, how come
OS X (with a similar look and feel) is used on 30-inch screens? Give
Unity a go without pre-conceived notions! It might have some rough
edges and it might have been more appropriate to default to it in
11.10 (that ship has sailed!) but, if you try it without any weird
bias, you'll find that it's pretty good. OS X's acknowledged by most
as having a user-friendly interface and it's unsurprising that both
Canonical and GNOME have both adopted a similar GUi.
