"As for Unity; its incomplete, buggy and complicated." -- four lines later: "The non geek will love Unity. Its simple to use [...]". The author fails to be consistent even in a single paragraph. Even the post's title contradicts its content.

Note the present tense in the first quote and the future tense in the second. Unity will be a very user-friendly system once they fix more of the bugs.
The problem is, by the time they have fixed the bugs and made it nice they will spot something else shiny and start again.

So you'll get 2 or 3 nice stable releases before being baptized by fire again.

Indeed, look at all the work canonical spent into speeding up boot and how it a couple of releases later regressed heavily almost back to where we started. Stories like this gives me little faith in Canonical managing to keep on improving Unity.
