Ok, moving to Linux Mint next. Any other suggestions?
Cinnamon 1.6 on Ubuntu 12.04 has been very pleasant for me so enjoy :) (the only thing keeping me from switching to mint is that they don't have a distro upgrade method like ubuntu does and I like keeping current)

You type too much: sudo dpkg -P unity-lens-shopping
In general it's not good to use that command because it can leave your system in an inconsistent state -- when there are packages which depend on the package you just removed. apt-get works out the dependencies.
root@fw:~# dpkg -P libssl1.0.0
dpkg: dependency problems prevent removal of libssl1.0.0:amd64:

Honestly, if Ubuntu dropped their ridiculous, underdeveloped, undersupported Ubuntu One services and partnered with Amazon to integrate theirs (Cloud Player/Cloud Drive/etc), that would be a MAJOR improvement for both them and the end-user. Excellent cross-platform cloud services and marketplaces integrated with the OS would be great for bringing less-technical users to the platform in the wake of the proposed "Windo…
I've done partnership deals with Amazon's BD department before. They're very wary of just going head-first into a long-term deal without some kind of "feeling out" process to make sure the two companies are going to get along. I wouldn't be surprised if this isn't their "feeling out" period before launching exactly what you're suggesting in a year or so.

Not to mention rather obvious privacy issues.

What are you talking about? dpkg will not remove packages with dependencies unless you force it to: root@fw:~# dpkg -P libssl1.0.0 dpkg: dependency problems prevent removal of libssl1.0.0:amd64: python-openssl depends on libssl1.0.0 (>= 1.0.0). openssh-client depends on libssl1.0.0 (>= 1.0.1). ntp depends on libssl1.0.0 (>= 1.0.0). ...SNIP... bind9-host depends on libssl1.0.0 (>= 1.0.0). tor depends on libssl1.0.0 (>…
