I like Gnome Shell

Can anyone speak to how this compares to Quicksilver on OS X? It sounds similar, albeit with the added ability of being able to manage window sizing.

Gnome-Do is pretty precisely analogous to OS X's Quicksilver.

Never used OS X but Unity search seems to be better than Gnome's.

Unity is probably slightly better, but Gnome Shell's is a little quicker in my experience. Aside from that, Unity's search is getting Amazon ads and I can't imagine that's going to be positive for the user experience.

There is a kill-switch in System Settings, has been since the brown stuff hit the fan and I expect Canonical realised they had to do something. This has been discussed in another current HN thread...

Like most things in Linux, terminal commands are the solution to everything, so I like comparing the out-of-box experiences. :)
