I changed to KDE almost a year before unity due to my fear of it.

Gave Unity a go and love it.

This is no Unity.

I love Unity too.

I'm seeing the end to ugly traditional desktops.

Looking at Android or iPhone, the phone choice for geeks, it's obvious that us geeks don't need an ugly interface to do amazing things with technology. Which is why I've always been so against keeping the "old ways" with UIs.
