We all know that Unity has gotten a ton of criticism right from the very beginning. Heck, I even smacked it around in one of my columns for Eye On Linux. The column was called Unity: Ubuntu’s Descent Into Madness!
I had a lot of fun writing that column, and it was written very early on with Unity. Over time I’ve come to more or less accept Unity. Is it my cup of tea? No, it’s not. I would never use it as my desktop environment of choice. I don’t like the way it works, and I probably never well.
But it’s important to remember that what I find appealing and useful might not be the same for you. There are many, many people out there who really like it. And why not? If it works for them, then more power to them.
