I have Unity on my netbook. It's as good as the other UIs I have used on it from the previous releases. But I wouldn't like Unity on my desktop machine. So if it's a pain to install regular gnome them I will be switching to some other distro from Ubuntu next Spring.

Unfortunately I have to agree with this. I don't use a lot of Ubuntu myself but it is usually the flavour I recommend to friends and family that want to try linux. If they go through with this fork of gnome I will no longer be able to recommend it as I don't have time to learn yet another GUI for the inevitable "WTF" type questions.
Learning new GUIs Posted Oct 26, 2010 23:14 UTC (Tue) by sladen (subscriber, #27402) [Link] There is a forced jump regardlessly: GNOME 3.x Shell is "yet another GUI" and if the Unity shell is arguably closer to the current Gnome Panel setup, surely that only serves to reduce the learning curve at the point that the forced jump occurs?
