The biggest problem I see isn't the radical design change of Gnome 3 or Unit, but the lack of customization. We once criticized Windows for being fairly rigid in that matter, but Windows now looks in comparison to these new desktop a tweaker's dream. Someting I thought I would never say.

So, in a way I would have to agree they suck at the moment, but I hope the project leaders will come to their senses and realize people like to be able to customize their desktops to some degree.

I find it hard to view Unity as cutting edge when it uses the old gtk2 instead of gtk3. Its really a new wrapper for a old base. It's like a homeowner that paints his house purple and moves all his doorknobs to the hinge side to stand out from his neighbors. It's the same house, but now it's an eyesore and annoying to get into.
