I really like unity and dislike GnomeShell for different reasons.
But Gnome plans some really cool stuff such as the recent mockups for
various apps.

The question is shouldn't Ubuntu move as fast as possible to the
latest gnome version so that they can implement most of these thinks
in 12.04.
1) Music player:
- banshee needs mono, is slow and still is a gtk2 app
- rhythmbox looks ugly
--> help Gnome implement the music mock up and you have it
2) Chat: the current look of empathy isn't really good
3) Videos: currently we have a video player and banshee: banshee has a
library, video player not but banshee will be removed
4) network senntigs look a lot better in gs than in unity (here you
have just to change the option in the connection indicator)
5) notifications: i really like the integration of empathy in GS you
don't need to open a window just type something...
and: Online accounts is nearly useless in unity and their is no
calendar (although I prefer Thunderbird we need a calendar)
But a think most important is: the farer we got from gnome the bigger
the differences and the harder for gnome, canoncial and app developers
to handle different shells
