Strange enough but according to the information from the DistroWatch.com Ubuntu lost a lot of users and its status of the most popular Linux distribution after switching from Gnome2 to Unity in its 12.04 LTS release. And its not about a small change in an interface, it is about we-know-better-what-you-need approach that drove quite a lot of companies to bankrupcy. Kodak is a perfect example. Its employee invented the very first digital camera in the world but Kodak refused to continue its development and put it to mass production because its managers decided that their customers need only film cameras.
