100% agree, I use and like Gnome 2. I installed 11.04 in virtualbox and 
played around with Unity for about an hr. Quite usable and easy to use. 
If I was new to computing I'd think it was great. As it is I still felt 
it was good. The main drawbacks are because it's new to me, and I have 
yet learnt all the quickest ways to interact. I want to compare it to 
Gnome 3 shell before I decide which I'll go with long term.

I find it ironic and amusing the amount of people in ICT related areas 
that foist heaps of change on others, but can't handle change themselves 
LOL.
