We support Canonical decision to drop Unity efforts and use GNOME 3 as default interface. GNOME 3 provides are excellent and modern experience, easy to use for new Linux users, while allowing to customise the environments thanks to excellent theming and extensions support.

We ask that the Unity components will be ported to GNOME 3 as extensions:

Top menu bar

Launcher

Dash

HUD

Indicators

Ambiance themes

Human icon theme

There are a few of those as community extensions already, we ask to have better components official from the Ubuntu Artwork Team.
