i hate that poll.
14.04's unity is actually really good and snappy, try it.

we just don't like giving mark shuttleworth a lewinsky… he's worse than lennart poettering in attempting to shove things through people's throats…

Hotkeys don't really work with browser tabs. Using shift+tab to switch between tabs is slower than simply clicking them. Using shift+number keys doesn't work in the event you have more than 10 tabs. Plus, that's more keyboard combinations you have to memorize and get used to, rather than using an intuitive and straight-forward interface.

i guess once you use the CLI and a tiling WM as your primary interfaces, what is "intuitive and straight-forward" changes since i think hotkeys are more "intuitive and straight-forward" than point-and-click
it's all in the eye of the beholder :3

This I definitely agree with. I used to have a keybind for pretty much every program I used on a daily basis on my Manjaro laptop, but I never really used them and I ended up going through the programs menu and typing it in instead, so I just got rid of all the shortcuts.

Keyboard-based interfaces just aren't for everyone, likewise, neither are floating window workspaces.

it's all about choice, people taking choice away are evil, evil people
just like people who develop closed-source software (though it's sort of implied since closed source by definition means taking away freedom)

it's why there's so many DEs, window managers, distros etc
embrace the variety, embrace the freedom! :3

Changing...

Tried out 14.04 on my laptop. Spent an hour removing bloatware, spyware and adware. Spent about half an hour tweaking every setting. This actually looks really nice, is really snappy and just works well now. I can't recommend Ubuntu to anybody though because of all the work involved.

I wouldn't either; with all of that needed, it doesn't seem worth it.

Out of curiosity, what software did you remove?

[Nal]

if I were to install the 14.04 beta right now would I need to re-install when it comes out? or just run an update

[Kingdaro]

I'm not sure, but I'd wait for release just to be safe.

Lenses, dash plugins, Zeitgeist, Ubuntu One, Amazon, Empathy, LibreOffice, a bunch of random games, etc. etc.
