I've just updated on of my laptops with Ubuntu's latest release (11.04 Natty Narwahl) and I have to say that I'm not overly impressed. All new things take a bit of getting used to, and 11.04 IS a change, but even allowing for that my initial gut feel is 'bloat'. This new Unity desktop does, I think, break (further?) with traditional of user configurability and enforces a look and feel that isn't to my liking (the upgrade completely borked my cairo-dock set up too, so that didn't please me).
I'll give it some time but I've got this taste in my mouth; if this is the way Ubuntu is going then I may well be looking for another flavour of linux.
