Some history: years ago someone at Unity got in love with one of those 3rd party assets, NGUI (if I remember correctly), they started reproducing it inside the engine and realized there could be problems of interest, so they contracted the asset developer, but relegated him to do boring stuff. The guy got depressed and left the company.

Having worked with the older GUI system I actually like what they have now. But I'd have prefered them to adopt CSS.

Now they bought all those inhouse tools from Peter Jackson they will be busy for years to come plugin them. Someone's dream in Unity is making movies, not UIs.
