Most of them. It's like all "journalism" today: link bait,
sensationalist, context-free. Most things aren't as bad (or as good)
as people make out.
Having said that, I've used Unity a lot and have tried living with
gnome-shell, Classic, Fallback, KDE, Cinnamon, MATE... but have
settled on XFCE+Synapse. XFCE stays out of the way (I have a window
list/system tray at the top and an autohide "dock" on the left), and
Synapse gives me quick access to everything. I wouldn't slate Unity
though.

I use unity because it's what people will end up using if I
recommend Ubuntu to them. It makes sense for me to be familiar with
it. I've never had cause to complain though.
I completely agree with you Gareth. I've been using Unity since it
became the default and I could never go back to GNOME 2.
I also find that Unity gets completely out of the way in normal use,
especially if you have the launcher on auto-hide. The keyboard
shortcuts also make it very keyboard friendly.
Regarding the Compiz crash, I've been on 13.04 for a couple of weeks
and I do get Compiz crashes occasionally, usually when using Nautilus
but when that happens, Compiz just restarts and everything is back to
normal.
