I respect your work, don't get me wrong. However, I experienced that the view became more important and that the workflow to use the menu, became more important, than applications that work without bugs, than applications that keep the old workflow, than applications that are compatible to older versions. The MIDI and the video icon are real icons, because it's absolutely clear what they are for and that's second most important. The other icons are unclear. Most important still is, that Ubuntu Studio will become stable again in the future. I still struggle with getting any Linux working as good as old Linux did work and during the work your Ubuntu Studio menu automagically become an averaged menu, just the icons were kept. If you customize Ubuntu desktops for Ubuntu Studio, for me it's important, that I still can use what ever software I want. No doubt about it, Ubuntu/Xubuntu Quantal already is borked, but Ubuntu Studio Quantal is completely unusable on my machine as soon as I install some additional software to use it with old data. Please don't make everything flashy, but incompatible with old data. I use Linux since 10 years. Other might use Linux for the first time, so everything still might be ok for them, but they once will use Linux for several years too and then they perhaps like to use old data too. I know that most issues are caused by upstream, but I hope the community wouldn't take that much care about the flashy view, but more about functionality. A lot of software still is broken for the current release, but the icons for the next release are already on the way. It's more important that rtirq fits to the kernel lowlatency, than to have icons. Something that isn't just an issue for Quantal, but always was an issue for Ubnutu Studio.

It does cost less in Germany, when I bought it 30 years ago.
