Hi Leszek,
Please can you trim your quotes a little? There was no need to quote
the full previous message (78 lines). It just means that everyone
has to scroll through it to reach your text which is then hard to
tell which bits (if any) you are actually replying to.

I've been using Linux as my main desktop since 1995 and I have no
hesitation recommending Unity to new users. I also now use Unity
myself.

If I felt it crippled ease of use, I wouldn't be using it myself.
It is Different.
Different is not automatically wrong.
It is possible to disagree. It is okay for you (or anyone else) to
not like it.

I feel I am still able to do real work (I work in IT) with the
minimum of heartache. Otherwise I am capable of using something
else.
My ways of working *have* had to change. They would have had to
change whatever the case, because my only real choices were Unity or
Gnome 3.

As an experienced Linux user you can install a bewildering range of
desktop environments.
It does not automatically follow that Ubuntu needs to devote
resources to supporting every single choice available to you. You
don't have to take that personally.
