I tried to like it
I tried to convince myself that Unity was alright. I tried to like the invisible scrollbar, and learned how to find it. Remember how you can scroll page by page by clicking above or below the scroll control? It doesn't happen in Unity.
So I upgraded from 11.04 to 11.10, and was greeted by the beautiful LightDM login. Logged in, saw a black screen briefly, then the login screen again. I guess LightDM is so wonderful, that's all my computer was supposed to do. I eventually managed to get to my desktop by going to a recovery terminal and removing LightDM (something the casual user would never figure out).
One more thing: In the Dash Overlay, Applications tab, there are apparently only six apps available for download. There's no More button, no categories, just six apps.
It needs a lot of work.
