I loved Unity on desktop, and I know many others too. But there was a very loud group of complainers who made them kill it. I still use it on some installations, bit it's obviously breaking more and more.

I loved Unity in the desktop too (I had installed Ubuntu on an old Mac mini). I was disappointed when it was killed and then I switched to XFCE.

I was never able to get it working on my Thinkpad. Might be me of course, but after days of reinstalls resulting in always transparent windows, I went with Mint. And stayed.
