Comment 151 for bug 668415

What we are complaining is more than Unity launcher problem.
Maybe the topic could have reached out its bounds, but I think that all the
complaints here are valid and marks the feelings that Unity introduction put
in the hearts of it's users.
There are many issues that must be addressed in order to Unity be
acceptable.
I wish so much that everybody read this article:

I've just found it to be my own words. You can also consider that it I that
wrote that.
