I really like Unity, but neither it nor Compiz play well with Xinerama (at least on 11.04). So while I was using Twinview with two monitors, Unity was great. However, as soon as I switched to three monitors across two vid cards, I had to drop Unity/Compiz and switch back to vanilla gnome. I'm hoping this release will resolve that issue.

Well, that and the sorta crazy window behavior. I think Unity is more intuitive than OS X regarding window management except for one "feature"...when you have multiple windows of the same application and then click the Launcher to restore one, it restores and brings to the front all of the windows. This is really bad design...I often have many terminals open and want to view a browser beside one of those terminals, but Unity makes it a real pain to do so, because every time I bring one term to the front, they all come along.

A better sensible default would be to bring to the front only the ones that are in _that_ workspace, a second click (in case you didn't find what you are looking for with the first one) would bring to the front all the windows belonging to that app (current behaviour).

Hm, for me it did not work well even on two monitors.
I'll give this one a try, hopefully they fixed it.
