I agree.

people like that is pretty and that is great, they become curious.

and for browsing the web is fine.

but for getting anything done it can be harder and sadly many become frustrated and lose the interest.

if ubuntu can fix the bugs for precise it will be awesome.

the global needs *lots of work*:
https://bugs.launchpad.net/unity/+bug/682788

and the launcher also needs more work too to really get out of the way.

gnome-shell is worse at the moment, but is getting Tons of extensions so you can customize it exactly how you want or need it. Unity cant stay behind...
