I was an happy Unity user and as Ubuntu moved into GNOME 3, I really tried to love it, as I was into GNOME back in the Gtk vs KDE early days.

However its use of JavaScript for any customization, broken use of UNIX workspaces and overall slowness pushed me into XFCE as well.

In spite of not bing a C fan, I am even less fan from polluting the GNOME experience with JavaScript everywhere, instead of pushing Vala forward.
