Canonical has really gone astray. Hell, the takedown order would never have been necessary in the first place without this shopping lens stupidity.

If you don't like the online lenses then you can turn them off.

Yes, I can apparently set up a website with instructions for doing so and get a nastygram from Canonical, too.

I run Fedora, anyway.

edit: I wish people wouldn't try to make a 1 size fits all desktop for mobile/tablet/desktop, but Unity is pretty much a wash with GNOME 3 for me.

I don't understand why anyone used it after Unity, honestly.

Because of Unity, for example. With exception of some annoyances (like poor work with workspaces, not enough customizability, poor notifications), it's not so far to my personal definition of perfect DE, and miles ahead of other Linux DEs.
