No System Monitor applet; the current System Monitor Indicator just doesn't cut it. On my dev machine, I like watching the little graph of cpu%/ram/network/disk etc.

My netbook IS running unity w/o the System Monitor, but I rarely do heavy work there. If the thought is to switch over to Unity for more casual users, then it probably works out well.

There's an indicator available for this already, although it lacks the fancy graphs.
