Unity requires 3d compositing. For those without adequate hardware, it falls back to the GNOME Panels. While I understand for this cycle effort should be put into getting Unity functioning, I think for the future a better fallback should be created. For one the GNOME Panels won't be supported forever so it's not a viable alternative in the long run. Two, the UI change from Unity/Panels is drastic. Look at Windows 7, if the user can't enable the compositing, the UI is still similar, it doesn't reset to an XP style of UI.
