DAE not have any issues with non-Unity Ubuntu? Hell even in 11.10 they seem to have fixed the critical Unity/compiz invis-window bug. Minus window behaviors that people aren't used to and the knee jerk reaction to the unity-launcher (learn the shortcuts, it's fast to use!) I have nothing but pleasant experiences. I've found actually gnome-shell to be pleasantly minimal and usable too.
That all having been said, it's really, really hard to beat the simplicity of Cardapio and Docky[1]. I feel very comfortable here.
Now, if we could just fix the font debacle that is Linux. [2]
