Originally posted by verde View PostI am very upset with this Shuttleworth's decision. For me it is the end for my interest on Linux Desktop. I believe that any other DE is simply 10 years back and there is no vision generally for anything more than the 1,5% world desktop market share.
Ubuntu had that vision and thats why it became my primary desktop all those years. I prefer to abandon Ubuntu than use it with Gnome.
Done properly, Canonical won't just slap Gnome 3 onto Ubuntu. That wouldn't make sense as that'd just become a renamed Ubuntu GNOME. I expect them to adapt and adjust Gnome to give it the familiar Unity look currently featured.
I agree with you that Unity is quite special compared to the other DE's. Personally, I find it too limited and simple - something it has in common with Gnome, IMHO. But it's very newbie friendly and one of the best looking, if not THE best looking, default DE's.

Only Ubuntu and Windows can run Unity. A lot of Ubuntu users use KDE/Gnome, so compared to en mass Linux population- we have SMALL amount of people using it.
Unity is exactly reason I dont use Ubuntu anymore and never suggest it to anyone.
It did harm to Ubuntu.
