I do believe Unity can be usable and powerful in the future, but Linux desktop environments were always about giving users the choice of freedom (to customise, for instance).
I see a few main complains:
1- Unable to move the launcher to the bottom or right side of the screen - So why can't we move it where we feel is more comfy for us? I remember Mark said he wanted it to be "close the the dash launcher button". Ok, That dash launcher button was taken away from the task bar (WTF?) and put in the launcher, so why can we still NOT move the launcher?
2- Unable to move the task bar panel - Again, why can't we move it to where we feel is more comfy for us?
3- Dash launcher button. In the first version it was on the task bar. Now it's part of the launcher - Why can't we choose whether to place it on one or the other?
4- The Dash itself - Why can't you give us two easy options? Use the new dash or the old style menus.
5- Global menu and app window buttons that disappear when mouse is not over the task bar - WTF?
I like they way Unity is thought, but feel I don't have a choice any more.
