I am still a big fan of the old JDS layout and with the one panel at the bottom and one launch menu. I know it was there to look like Windows XP, but it works. I know and the end of the day it does not matter since we can change it to any which way, but I still believe that we should have a slightly different look and feel than the standard GNOME interface.
