    Seems that Canonical's "not invented here" syndrome isn't working out too well for them....

    Speaking of which, I wonder what this means for the Mir project.

    Sad to hear about the phones/tablets. But I support the return to Gnome, because I think it is a genuinely wonderful desktop environment. Now that I think about it, this is my 10 year anniversary as a Gnome user! :)

    I am glad to see the Unity Interface go away. I never liked it.

    Never a fan but not sure I like it just going away. I would much rather hear everyone with a Distro is agreeing to just one package manager.

    IMO, Gnome 3 is as bad as Unity...
