Gnome is my choice. After using the Unity interface for about a week now, I find it difficult and cumbersome to navigate. As a long time Linux user (since Slackware 1994), I know what to expect inside the interface, but dang, I'm spending way too much time trying to just do simple stuff.

I suppose it's just the learning curve, but it's sort of like when Microsoft does a wholesale makeover of a long time product, it just hacks people off.

Other observations:

- Applications seem to take a bit longer to spawn
- When running routine apps like email or browsers, the screen switches off, blinks several times, flashes a command line script, then logs me off and displays the login screen.

Recommendations:
- Put the old workspace switcher tray icon back where it was. The new one sucks.
- Put the "Administration" and whatever the other one was back in the upper menu bar for house keeping tasks...after a week, I still can't find the Unity equivalent, and it's driving me nuts.

Other than that, it's another great Linux release, and I REALLY appreciate having an alternative to MS and APL OS's....you guys are DA BEST !
