I don't think he should feel obligated to deliver. But, I think comments should generally add to the conversation. If they don't, I tend to down vote them.

>> Hibernate (suspend to disk) has been disabled by default, as it was found to be unreliable, very slow and confusing to have two suspend modes. I'd guess from the phrasing that suspend-to-disk can still be enabled, it just isn't by default.
Yes, it can be, and the next bit says as much. I've pasted in the rest of the bullet point to clarify. I was just disappointed that such a thing has to be enabled manually now.
major pains: workplace switching is not what was listed on the keyboard shortcuts screen. virtualenv would not install via apt-get. so back to osx for me.
Ctrl + Alt + cursor key works exactly as described. Also,
sudo apt-get install python-virtualenv
Ok, I've just tried my 12.04 / Unity laptop with my 22" monitor. The thing is, I have my laptop on the left, and 22" on the right. So I want to set the Unity launcher to the right hand side of my main screen, the 22" display, so that it doesn't get in the way of scrolling to the laptop's screen. Sounds simple right? Switching the launcher from left to right? Wrong. http://askubuntu.com/questions/123552/unity-launcher…

Yes. I am generally supportive of Unity but this is one thing I just can't understand. I get the rationale for avoiding a bottom dock on a widescreen monitor, but the left-hand side doesn't even make sense (browser back button is on the left, window close button is on the left - any time I try to use either of them I accidentally trigger the launcher). The best solution I found was to use ccsm and change the hotkey t…
Depends. I have set my OSX dock to autohide at the bottom, and I'm glad I don't have to move across to reach it. Flick down, boom, Dock. It works even better than it sounds since it works along the edge, not solely where the dock is. Even with multiple monitors, my dock is at most one screen-wide away (even in a triple head setup), while a left-bound dock is two (even three) screenful away.
Also, I seem to unconsciously end up with the pointer in a vertically centered zone. Horizontally it comparatively could stay in any place, left, center or right. Statistically that might be the case too since going up for a (application or status icon) menu will later have me bring the pointer down since I click on a menu entry.
What's more it seems more natural and producing less strain for my eyes to peek up or down than to the far left. Indeed when I want for something to 'disappear' (like the pointer when typing) I move it sideways, never up or down.
Hence since I'm at most a screen width and half a screen height away form the dock, 'flick, boom, Dock' works only at the bottom.
While all of this may apply only to me (and I used a left-bound dock for a while myself, but ended up reverting back to the bottom edge) I understand that some may have other habits and prefer a left-, or right-bound dock. This is why both Gnome 3 and Unity drive me insane, because even if I had a lengthy experiment with a side dock it just doesn't make sense to me, and this is really infuriating to not let people have their way in this case.
(besides, vaguely related to the subject and multi head setups notwithstanding, I find it infuriating in Gnome 3 that the left edge does not reveal the dock and the right edge the workspace switcher. the whole thing just begs for it)
Based on the fact that I was able to remove lines and not add new ones to this script, I'd say this release is pretty good.
Gripe: Ubuntu One still takes ages to sync up.
Praise: Sticky edges for multiple monitors; they're really handy when scrolling or otherwise doing something near the edge between the screens (and can be turned off if you don't like them).
Has anyone tried to dist-upgrade? Does it work well? Around the time I was a Ubuntu user (around Hardy 8.04), dist-upgrade would usually break your box and was discouraged by Canonical themselves. If I recall correctly.
I did an upgrade from 11.10 to the 12.04 beta. Seems to work fine.
My laptop battery life jumped from 4.5hrs to 7, kernel panics with too many Chrome tabs open and/or Flash playing are a thing of the past, etc.
One of the best upgrades I've ever done.

It's possible that you've just explained it: The people for who it became such a problem have already migrated away. I don't have any numbers for that, but even if it's a small shift, then it could be that most people weren't too fussed anyway.
We as humans and programmers are creatures of habit, Unity by being a relatively new technology will break some habits in our work ritual. Give it a few years and nobody will complain about this.
I'm here to collect my OSS karma as I contributed a couple of the wallpapers to this one.
