[Josh Leverette <753144@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Thats a lame reason. This is the first generation of unity for desktop.
Of course it will have limitations, but it is still a huge improvement
on the old gnome desktop. Use a different notes app or ask around in the
ubuntu forums for a workaround on that, but that is the worst reason
anyone has yet given.. and i've heard plenty of bad ones. This is the
way forward for ubuntu, and it's better than gnome shell from what
reviews have said in their comparisons.

Sincerely,
Josh
