I tried unity in 10.10 and found it to be cumbersome. I was shocked when they announced they were moving to it for 11.04.

But, it looks like it's undergone a few improvements.

(Strangely, I know,) I trust the people working on Ubuntu to make rational decisions. It looks like unity pulled through.

I tried Unity in 10.10 too. But, it seems much more polished and usable now.

One real plus in 11.04, is the installer. Really convenient.

Unity in 11.04 is a different beast than the thing in 10.10 netbook. Unity11.04 is rewritten as a Compiz plugin for performance reasons. Unity10.10 was based on Mutter/Clutter and suffered poor performance b/c of that (among other reasons).

Anyone who used Unity in 10.10 should give 11.04 a new and fair shot since they are 100% different things.

The only issue with that is if you don't have a spiffy OpenGL video card. Mutter and Clutter have come a very long way since the decision not to use them.

ahh thats where unity 2d comes in :) a brilliant move to include those who gnome shell said "too bad" too. expect to see more of qt in future ubuntu ui improvements
