I was a keen Unity fan when Natty came out. However, since Oneiric,
Unity is the main reason why I'm still using Natty.

It has become a lot less usable, and a bit less elegant (Eg: Ubuntu
start button thing). Some of the things that drew me to Natty have
gone.

It's not the first time that upgrading Ubuntu has lost features, but
usually it's worth it due to other improvements. These things aren't
accidental regressions, they are intentional. I think there should be
some way of communicating to developers positive feedback about
features (not just bugs or feature requests). Otherwise you only hear
when it goes wrong. Something like "I use this feature and it's good!
Please don't remove it!", or at the very least, there should be an
/option/ to enable the feature even if it's no longer default.

I'm planning on switching to Gnome 3, but why isn't there a flavour of
Ubuntu for Gnome? I want to give out CDs again, but I'm not giving out
any post-Natty version of Unity.
