Not for me.
I've already gone to Lubuntu, and I'm starting the thought process of moving to Mint or Debian.
My thirteen year old has asked to go to Mint, we'll probably do that next weekend. "Dad, you can't even change the panel." The "teachable moment" will end up being about re-partitioning his Linux partition (it's all root at the moment), not about learning Unity. He just wants to GSD.
