“If you ever used Unity and GNOME 3, or seen any screenshot of
them, you see it is very different from anything you have ever seen
before on desktop and laptop computers. Interface of these DEs is
very different. There is no more task bar with button which
launches menu. Instead, you have docked launcher, and one of items
in this launcher starts menu.

“Emphasis is on not using menu at all. Instead, you use launcher
itself plus search for application you need typing some characters
in search box. Yes, this is very different. Is it good or evil? I
think this is good.”
