23 Just my opinion here, but i've used both Unity and gnome-shell and a
24 *MUCH* prefer Unity (IMO, I could live with Unity if GNOME2 ever went
25 away, i know i couldn't live with gnome-shell). It seems to have a
26 more well thought-out interface, it's getting massive improvements and
27 it's really sane and non-obtrusive (compared to gnome-shell, I still
28 prefer a "traditional desktop experience").
