That's really funny. You've just given the exact same argument I do,

experience. I really don't see the problem with it.
Curiously, last week I put Mint on a spare partition just to take a
look.
I found I was not enjoying the experience! It was only on reflection
that I
realised I was missing the easy Unity experience too much! I find Unity
very usable on PC and netbook (no touch) and everything else feels,
well,
just old fashioned.

I can't say I love everything about it. Window switching works against me
(multiple windows of the same program grouped together) and I can't use
keyboard shortcuts like ALT+F any more. I used to use the keyboard to
navigate menus a lot and I'm finding I'm just not using the HUD or
getting
used to those changes at all. But on the whole I do find it to be a fluid
experience that I just get on with and I've actually never felt the need
to
stray from unity, even in it's early days.
The keyboard shortcuts should still work, can you give a specific
example that does not work?

Correction. They did not work in 12.10 but appear to now be working in
13.04. Possibly a quirk of my install that got fixed with the upgrade. I
never complained about it because I thought that might be the case anyway.
If it is specifically LibreOffice that you had the problem with then
there have been problems in 12.10 see [1] and possibly others.
Perhaps LO 4 (or other stuff in Raring) has fixed them.

I'm sure it was more than just office but I can confirm right now it's
working in Thunderbird but not if libreoffice in 13.04.
