I wasn't exactly telling people not to use it but there do seem to be lots of people unhappy with the way canonical have imposed "their way" on users without giving them an (easy!) option of reverting to the old way. (OK, that may be an exaggeration and I expect it is possible to remove unity and run other desktops) Apple have always adopted the attitude that their way of doing things is the only way and make it very difficult if not impossible to reconfigure the look of their OS. Is that now the route Canonical are going to follow? I am biased towards Debian as you all know and make no apologies for promoting the "Debian Way" A large majority of HantsLUG members were Debian users a few years back but for some reason chose to go with the new kid on the block.
