There's little chance to get involved with Unity. Shuttleworth has made it clear that he's playing his benevolent dictator card.

Maybe. Unity is probably great for touch screen interfaces. Similar layouts have been tried on small screens - netbooks for example.
I guess the people with 2 huge monitors (and all the Linux tinkering that involves) aren't the people who need Unity; and they're probably already using something else. (Something entirely keyboard driven or minimal or whatever.)

Yes, "show me the code" is a powerful message. Even if there's little room for involvement in Unity there are many other window managers and desktop environments that'd welcome people getting involved; whether that's with bug-fixing or feature implementing or language translations or documentation.
