That's true, I am actually using LXDE with Natty as I write this email :D
I know I don't have to leave to because of Unity, and I haven't yet. I guess I'm just feeling a little disappointed and am taking it out on Canonical. I feel like Unity (and GNOME3) are a demonstration of a movement in computing (society in general) that I dislike. When I use a tool I want it to be functional, not flashy; it's features right at my fingertips. It's probably not the right forum to just whinge like this, so I'm sorry. I'm just disappointed.
