This is one of the things I don't understand at all - surely, that is
one of *the* biggest strengths of a windowing GUI?
Like you, this is a fundamental requirement of my working day, so
anything that is inherently designed not to work that way is going to be
a problem for me....

Well, as I and several others have stated, we have done something "more
productive" - we're using something else.
*But*, we have been assured that those "steering" Ubuntu do listen to
the concerns and problems of Ubuntu users so I, for one, was *trying* to
point out why I have a problem with Unity (and GNOME 3) - I was trying
to provide a critique, rather than just b*tching about it.
Having said that, as a developer on a moderately important piece of
software for the Unix/Linux world, and being responsible for the
releases of that software, my experience doesn't encourage me to believe
there's much "listening" going on in the Ubuntu camp. When I contacted
some members of the Ubuntu release committee last year (at the behest of
the Ubuntu package maintainer), I didn't even receive an acknowledgement
back - which I felt was pretty poor.
