If you'd been at Popey's demo of Ubuntu 12.04 LTS at the Surrey meet in
Addlestone, Chris, you might have been converted to Unity - as were a
lot us.
E.g. I get an instant Terminal window on this PC by pressing < win + 6 >
- that's just two keys, together.
Using the search key (top of the icons), three letters finds a program
thanks to predictive text.
I'm no 'power user' but it all seems pretty good to me.
And compared to my previous MS experience of about 17 frustrating years,
this is computer heaven.
(Thank you Desmond.)
Well, again, I come back to: if it works for you, great! And I am in no
way claiming you are wrong, because of that.
I respect the fact that you find Unity's way of working suits you - but
don't I deserve the same respect with regard to finding Unity doesn't
suit me?
I admit, I am prone to snap decisions about these things: it's not a
question of "I can use this" or "I can't use this", but more "this feels
right" or "this feels wrong" - which is much more ethereal, harder to
define. But if something "feels" right from early on, I will put the
effort into learning to use it to fully satisfy my needs. If it feels
wrong, I probably won't put that effort in unless I really have to.
Maybe I'll ditch the desktop experience, and GUI and go find me a nice
vt100 terminal to work at.......

Fair enough, Chris.
Bit like a car/motorbike: takes only a few minutes of driving/riding to
know whether it suits you or not.
To each his own.
