Personally, I don't like them — I tried very hard to like Unity in Ubuntu 11.04/11.10 before giving up and switching to Mint (I am very happy there currently). But is it the vocal minority doing all the complaining, or is it the majority? Are we just too set in our ways?"

It's like when I went to the auto parts store for a new drive shaft.
They gave me a propeller.
Me: But sir, I don't need a propeller for my car.
Salesman: Airplanes are newer than cars and they are awesome. The use propellers. You know you can propel a car with a propeller, right?
Me: A drive shaft would give me more acute control than a propeller.
Salesman: You'll thank me for making your car careen wildly with this propeller once you realize the cool factor.
