Thanks for that link - I see there are some good things in Gnome 3.
Maybe they will get into Unity and, apparently, Gnome3 has picked up
things from Unity as well. 

The point remains, though, that the old 'Classic' look will not be found
in future Ubuntu releases.  Both Unity and Gnome 3 are the same kind of
desktop - a dash down the side, quick searching for apps instead of
menus, etc, etc.  So users need to get used to this new way of working.
