I must be one of the few people that actually like Unity :)

But I really don't get why people would bother to switch distros just because of Unity. My mum is just fine installing things from the software centre, and with a minimal amount of guidance could install LXDE. I can imagine average Ubuntu users would be capable of following online instructions to get LXDE/XFCE.

I'm also a fan, but only on my fairly large multiple-monitor setup. I find it's consistently getting in my way (or staying out of my way) at the wrong times on my thinkpad.

Which is why I wonder the same as you - as on my netbook and thinkpad, I just installed LXDE via software center and carried on. Quite nice how well that works, actually.
