I agree, some of my colleagues at work use unity (for no other reason than "it's the default on the most popular distro") and it's frustrating to try to explain to them eg. in wireshark "go to the Statistics menu" and there's nothing there that says "Statistics", or I don't remember which menu is needed, and I have to say "move the mouse to the top and leave it there", so I can scan the menus, it's a total waste of time...

As long as the customer pays for the time required for the supplier to deal with it, no big deal. And for projects paid by completion percentage rather than by the hour, an "Ubuntu Surcharge" is what it takes.

Everybody has their own preferences and priorities when it comes to spare time and hobbies.
