Of course, since all of 11.10 isn't molded to your personal preference that means opinions don't count.

Whims for Unity in Ubuntu 11.10 Beta 1. It's sad that changes are decided without usability tests, and opinions don't count. Even if there are reasons for having concerns about the changes in UI, instead of looking for solutions, people that decide changes simply force to use what they believe is the best.

That is, I can accept something new, even if I don't like it. But I have concerns about the changes in design. And the attitude is "no. I like the changes, and all your concerns are invalid. Because I like it and I think 99% the people will love it."

How is it you find it problematic hiding the same three buttons in same position, yet don't for hiding a menu of varying sizes and content?
