Unity's unique features are either optional or automatic. If you
develop your app using Gtk or Qt, you will automatically get the global
menu in Unity. Having an XDG .desktop file will automatically allow
your app to be placed on the Unity launcher and, you can optionally
extend that with Unity Quicklists. The Indicator API exists in both
Unity and KDE.
If you have more questions about integrating your application with
Unity, please take a look at http://unity.ubuntu.com/about/

Why,I did not choose Unity?
I am a developer too.
Desktop software design principle (Maybe you know) , for end users,
they hope every software has similar appearance, .aka. UX..... Similar
menu layout,keyshortcuts,status bar,notification
area.....especially,settings panel.
Why not improve GNOME if you think it sucks?
(OK..,why not improve Unity if I think it sucks...because I won't waste
time on it,I think Unity have no significant for end users.They want bug
fixes and new useful features & softwares adding eagerly , not another
desktop env.)
BTW:You can image, while user works,he open a new window,...desktop
disappears.
In spare time ,I want to develop some useful tiny programs which /other
platform provided but ubuntu lack of/.(Wine? never be a solution.You
must know it.Forget Wine.Develop your own linux desktop software.)
But when I see Unity,I am confused. Did I need test my program on Unity?
These desktop env have different API &UX. Programs can't do a good
seamless integration with desktop env(also file managers such
as Nautilus . K onqueror ).
Hn...Ha... Why not GNOME X.X? Great Unification.
I am tired.

All decisions so far regarding Ubuntu's design and Unity have been
made by large groups of people, and every decision has been influenced
a lot by user testing and feedback. And yes, we've been listening to
our users. Every. Feedback. Counts. As Michael said, we ourselves are
users too.
We'd also be considering your opinions if they were constructive. Just
saying "OMG UNITY SUX IM MOVING TO <Insert a DE or distro here>.
PLEASE FIX UNITY" isn't going to help either side. We tend to ignore
such threads because of their vagueness.
