I've long gotten the impression that the Ubuntu phone UI is 
designed to appeal to people with an Apple background.  So for 
me, coming from a non-Apple background, I don't really "get" it.  
I'd like to see some designs which appeal to others too.

Also, I seem to be icon illiterate.  I have trouble remembering 
what any of them are unless it has a text label, so I don't even 
remember the last time I used the launcher on the left edge.
