Hmm, maybe the reason I like Unity is because my previous machine was a Mac and everything just makes sense. I guess if you're coming from Windows, you're going to get annoyed with certain things, but only the same things you'd get annoyed with if you were moving to OSX.
I couldn't stand Unity either, and for me it was more an issue of coming from an earlier version of Ubuntu (gnome).
Fair enough. I miss my CompizFusion window switchers too (as the default).
