OK, I re-watched this and am not quite sure what caused my positive
reaction.  Best I can come up with is the "design for everyone group"
argument and the generally positive audience reactions.  I know I liked SOME
of the Unity interface, but still mourn the loss of some things I am
accustomed to.  Part of progress in general I guess.

I can say that I saw a 26 minute Unity review today that echoes a lot of my
feelings.  I don't agree with it all, but I think it is worth the time.  It
is mostly narration as the "video" has very little more than a series of
screenshots.  Yet it makes its points clearly.

The spirit of resistance to government is so valuable on certain occasions,
that I wish it always to be kept alive.
