I would call this a huge leap backwards. It is the first version of Debian or Ubuntu in 15 years that doesn't work. Wireless broke. Wired broke. Unity caused windows to randomly turn white. No obvious way to turn off visual effects. The UI feels like a clone of the Mac without a real understanding of what works and doesn't work on the Mac. A lot of the Mac paradigms come from a world of much lower resolution than modern desktops. The Mac-style top menu bar doesn't work well for modalless, Unix-style applications where you have several open at the same time. Focus-follows-the-mouse is slow and broken. Most of my favorite configuration options are gone. Clicking a second time on the terminal button brings up the first terminal, not a second one.

I'm waiting for 11.10 on the rest of my machines, but considering switching from Ubuntu.
