You made me chuckle. I mostly agree with you [1]. Though, to be fair, Ubuntu has been accused of being an open source Windows (or rather, OS X) almost from the get go.

I'm really conservative about software and I want to keep my apt, dammit it! I did like Unity, but only because I was never too attached to Gnome.

[1] I still remember when KDE devs broke that desktop for me, I think it was KDE4? They decided you just couldn't place desktop icons -- "you're doing it wrong", foreshadoing Steve Jobs -- and there was much gnashing of teeth, and I and many others ragequit to Ubuntu. Little did we know, of course :P
