Re: Wow... Unity, Mir, Ubuntu phone/tablet all going bye bye

I too am a bit annoyed they threw in behind gnome, I've never been able to use it and not be instantly annoyed since it's come out. I've tried many times, I just simply don't get it. Better than Unity, but not by much, and since I've stopped deploying ubuntu 6 months ago, much happier in
