OR, are you glad Unity is getting tossed out the window, er Desktop Environment?
"So I decided to be a little adventurous and compile the newly released xfce 4.10. I use Xubuntu primarily for three reasons: 1) convenience. Download and go, no real need tweak anything. It just works. 2) I prefer Thunar over most other file managers I've tried. PCManFM is also nice, but I lost some desktop integration when I installed it. And 3) I can't stand Unity. I'm not claiming that it's the work of the devil and I readily admit that I barely gave it more than a couple hours on my laptop, but the entire experience was frustrating. Never mind about the window buttons on the left instead of the right, I use keyboard shortcuts, or that it uses global menus instead of menu bars for each window. Annoying, sure, but not a deal-breaker. What did it for me was the inconsistent results of Dash searches, followed up with clicking on the button for the inevitable 120+ updates that always follow a fresh install and having no idea what files are being downloaded and installed. If I wanted this level of lack of transparency, I'd run MS Windows."~ June 2012
