Here are some reasons why I think the application menu in unity as it is nowis
a failed attempt at improving the user experience in Ubuntu.
1) Primary target of Ubuntu Unity are _net_books, accordingly the most
importantapplication is going to be the browser as repeatedly pointed out

That's a bit harsh, my tone is fine most of the time ;) I'll admit that people
talking nonsense sometimes gets the best of me, but in most cases I try to be
polite, if somewhat blunt.

I recently installed Natty on my machine and I was really impressed by
how far Unity has come. Everything is smooth and I have almost no
crashes. The interface is also very clean. The only item that stands out
is the old compiz alt-tab switcher; It looks very odd with the low-res
icons and
I like the idea, but it's hard to say for sure without a mockup. ;-)

Actually ... I always set the Alt+Tab combination from Compiz (Ring
Switcher) for the ease of use. But yes, I would love to see the feature in
Unity by default.

Pointing a minimize button at the left dock further highlights that in
its current form Unity has taken away layout options for me, a humble
end user.
If I could disable the new dock entirely, I would rely on something more
customizable like AWN and put it wherever I actually wanted it. I

While I disagree with Mitja's tone (as usual), I agree with
his main point. Most of giff's points were
Right, because the default style of _ means you can never move the Window List
to anywhere but the bottom, or well Ambiance has - so I guess that means
windows mimize to the middle of the screen?
GNOME Shell doesn't have a minimize at all, I guess by your logic isn't not
configurable at all,
There is no definitive fact that says that Google knows best. They have
their preferences about UX, and Canonical has their's. Just because these
two entities don't agree doesn't make one or the other right or wrong.
Most of Canonical's usability testing seems to indicate that it's easier to
hit

Google is excellent at collecting and analyzing data. However, the word
correct always means there's an opinion involved somewhere, and even if
most people believe an opinion to be correct, doesn't mean everyone
will.
Tabs on top and the Global Menu don't break each other, and aren't
nearly as
This is something that gets said again and again, but… Unity is essentially
an option just like AWN is an option, GNOME Panel is an option, Docky is an
option, etc. Unity doesn't make any of those go away. If you want to
customise the default experience to use a single GNOME Panel, instead of
Mark, I'm not sure how Gnome Shell enters into this, I certainly have no
desire to use Gnome Shell. Gnome Shell is worse is not a great defense
of Unity, nor a sufficient distraction from the lack of configurability
in a premature serving of ~Unity~ as a Gnome 2.x replacement.

Carl, I have filed a bug. But when I install Gnome Panel on, say, 12.10
and an underlying change to Ubuntu breaks it, who do I file the bug
report with when no one is maintaining Gnome Panel?
I have not said don't do Unity. I have requested Gnome Panel be
maintained for those who adopted
Canonical has *never* maintained GNOME Panel, so the fact that it even works
*now* is entirely due to the miracle of collaboration, rather than Ubuntu's
or Canonical's specific efforts. That'll continue to be how it all works in
the future; don't panic. There are enough people out there looking
