So we who appreciates Unity is idiots now? Truth be told I had some troubles getting used to Unity but now when I'm using 10.04 or Win7 I constantly find myself looking for the Unity launcher and (on win7) I miss having the window buttons on the left, it somehow feels more correct to have them on the left side.
I run Unity on our home machine and wife and kids have never complained, not even when I made the switch, they quickly adopted without any fuzz. But then again we might be idiots...

I'm also an idiot. As a longtime Linux user I must say the switch to 12.04+Unity has been a pleasant surprise. My Thinkpad T60 finally suspends properly (broken since 11.04), power consumption has improved, video mode switches perfectly when undocking, and I'm finding the whole Unity experience simple yet productive. Granted, most of what I just described are kernel/driver issues but Ubuntu is making sure all these things are nicely weaved and work properly. I've always wanted to like XFCE but it has never handled my multi-monitor setup properly among other shortcomings.

You can move the Win7 taskbar to any edge of the screen (since unlike Unity and GNOME Shell, Windows has a sane design).
