I stared using Ubuntu as primary desktop system from 7.04 and switched to Arch+KDE when Unity came out as the default UI.
I don't have any issue with a distro refining the user experience, trying to appeal to a more general market. However, the initial Unity was such a half-assed, buggy release that my confidence in the maker of Ubuntu was destroyed.
Pissing off base/sophisticated users in attempt to attract doesn't look like a good omen for future success.
