fwiw, Unity is pretty good now... after the first year of pain, it has cleaned up nicely. lots of key bindings, and a few strategic gnome setting (focus follows mouse, disable autoraise) and it mostly gets out of the way. It still wants to maximize windows a bit too often for my taste... but I don't get the complaints about it being not suitable for use by old Unix hands. I'm one of those grey beards now (OK, beard is virtual), and it seems fine using vi and make ;-)
