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."
