I made the switch to the Gnome desktop in 17.04 and it was the best
thing I could have done. I never felt really comfortable with Unity and
I find Gnome is much more suited to how I work. I added the Gnome
extension "Dash to Dock" and I find it superior to the Unity dock in
that I can place it in any location (I use the bottom of the screen) and
I can duplicate it across multiple monitors. Gnome uses the Window key
for a similar functionality to the HUD and it's quick and responsive.
In a nutshell Gnome just feels like it's integrated much better with the
OS and I don't miss anything about Unity now; in a very short space of
time I was comfortable with Gnome and have been even happier with it as
time passes.

I have been asked what do I think of Ubuntu's Gnome desktop. I am
using 16.04 LTS and will continue to do so until it is no longer

I like the Unity desktop. All my favourite programs are quickly
accessed from the toolbar at left and others can be found in Dash.
Unity gives me fast access to programs and I would be disappointed at
losing it. Is there a choice?
Please tell me what is going on.
