Hi Rajeev and James,

I highly recommend forcing yourself to get used to Unity. GNOME
Classic/GNOME 2.x will never be used again as default, and just
as Microsoft with Windows 8, Canonical and the Ubuntu devs are wanting
people to get used to them. I suppose looking at some of the features Unity
has that Windows/Mac don’t, that in the future, possibly in the Quantel
development cycle, some really cool features will be added to Unity to make
it even easier to use. I use Ubuntu with Unity because Unity is a modern
desktop environment when compared to other desktop environments.

Another who doesn't like Unity. One thing i don't understand... why not use
Xubuntu and keep life simple for yourself. I started using xubuntu before
unity came out and i haven't looked back.
