Fine, I'll admit it -- I used Unity again last week and I liked it. And if compiz weren't so buggy, it's a really good environment all around and I'd probably have stuck with it. HUD is absolutely brilliant. I literally can't say enough good things about how much I used it in that week. It makes development so much faster, especially if you're using an IDE.
Unity allows me to utilize more screenspace, very effectively. The latest version is pleasant to look at. I'm still not a huge fan of the default lens, but that will get better with time or as someone creates a replacement for the default lens.
Beside, that's a pretty pithy lame reply to your original remarks. Disappointing.
Elementary is great, although currently only working well with 12.04. Cinnamon is great, my mother figured it out intuitively immediately based on Windows XP (much faster than with Windows 8 or OS X). Gnome-Shell is "OK", I find it's a taste thing and most people what more out of it.
