Comment 108 for bug 668415

Make the words of Magnes mines. Non-technical users (and even technical)
have lots of trouble with Unity. I can say it by my own personal experience.
As I can see, here this Unity adventure is a personal desire of someone and
people should avoid putting their nose on it. It seems that no one will hear
us and things will continue to get worst. I'm really tired about this
situation. Every research of satisfaction around Unity that I have read
points many design failures.
I actually don't think that people in their majority are so dumb to need a
complete revamp of their user interface to be able to use it properly. Until
now, everybody has learned how to use Windows, MacOS, Gnome2, KDE3 and none
of these users interfaces are so strange to users as Gnome3 and Unity.
Ubuntu have lots of other problems that need to be adressed with top
priority (like device driver support, open source applications that don't
match it's proprietary counterparts, etc.). Don't think that an appealing
user interface is the main reason to address bug #1. In all my years of
experience with Linux, no single human being has complained with me that
they had problems to use Gnome2. That is not the case here with Unity:
everybody that I personally know, complains about it.
A Desktop manager in it's conception is only an application to help people
open windows and manage them, it is not the Enterprise Spaceship to be
commanded.
