I would say Canonical rather than Shuttleworth himself personally, but that is a minor nitpick. I have used and like Unity.

One issue I really hope gets sorted before 14.04 is the LibreOffice menu bug

That is definitely under the 'fit and finish' heading! Imagine a future version of Ubuntu with Unity with that bug landing on the desktops of a few thousand users doing office work...

Having the good sense to set up a system that can create Ubuntu and let it work is a kind of vision. I vaguely recall something about this being how Steve Jobs worked: he created a system where people could work on ideas, and he only acted as the gatekeeper who kept the bad ideas from reaching the market.

Yes, Shuttleworth has good leadership skills and has pushed an agenda all these years, not to mention putting quite a few $million where his mouth was.

Do you think Jobs would have allowed a MacOs X update to badly break the way MS Office worked?

You mean apple and not jobs right?

The post three up mentioned Jobs being concerned to stop poor work reaching customers so I replied in kind.

Yes, for consistency with my original reply, I should have said Apple!
