Ubuntu has been a force for Good in my life: installation is a breeze,
usage is a joy and how to's are a plenty. Unity, in my opinion, is a step
in the right direction for the Linux desktop. Yes it frustrates me that I
cannot move the Unity bar in my two-screen setup. But the Unity team has
chosen different priorities, based on user research and what they think
will have the best cost/benefit ratio for all current and potential users.
So be it, they build, they invest, they decide. A feature request is just
that, a request. Preferably a polite request and definitely not a
demand! If your life has become a dark pit filled suffering and frustration
because of the unity bar issue then why not invest some time and effort in
fixing it yourself? I choose to accept this minor annoyance because at the
bottom line Ubuntu works great for me and Unity shows a lot of promise,
stick with this people, it's not finished nor perfect but it's going the
right way!

@Mark Thank you, the people at Canonical and of course the upstream folks
for putting together such a great desktop system that I use with pleasure
everyday!
