Unity is better in 12.* than earlier. No clicking - just hit super (or super-A, type for example "thENTER" for thunderbird. Took me a while to rid my brain of the notion that I *needed* a menu, but now I like it.
Or ctrl-alt-T for terminal.
Still despise the stupid idea shared by Gnome3 and Unity that you're ever only going to want one window of each type and you need right click + "New Terminal" or whatever to get a new one.

Not just GNOME and Unity but I believe every major UI has adopted this (even Windows), specially after tabbed browsing won over a few years ago and tabs became part of a few other kind of apps as well.
It makes sense in most cases - the exception for me also being the terminal. I simply set up the Super+T shortcut to launch a new window and that's that.

Ctrl+Alt+T already exists as a default shortcut for "new terminal window"...

Middle mouse on launcher also opens a new window in Unity.
Not very discoverable, but works great and is consistent with browsers.
GNOME 3.6 released Posted Oct 1, 2012 14:21 UTC (Mon) by sorpigal (subscriber, #36106) [Link] Long ago I began launching apps from my terminal. The number of launcher docks I used shrank quickly to zero and I've never looked back. On Linux I've bound my favorite terminal to ALT+SHIFT+t and have a trivial shell script which I invoke to launch my graphical programs. Launcher programs are overrated; my launcher panel is as long as my memory and the time it takes to find any item is a function of the length of its name (or faster, if it tab completes quickly). I expect most people (where people != users) will prefer this sort of thing once they get used to it.
