I also am not very impressed with Unity. I have installed the Beta and am giving it a try but so far I see little benefit and some loss of usability. I'll keep trying it out so maybe I will change my mind. I did start to look forward to it after Ted Gould's talk at SCaLE but no I don't recall why.
I was glad to hear yesterday that it is beginning to look like Unity may not be the default for 11.04. Apparently, from what I read, there are too many remaining issues and hence is impetus to delay making it the default until 11.10.
The other good thing for now is that you can still choose to use a gnome session rather than Unity. Once you select a user on the login, several things show up on the bottom of the screen giving the defaults for that user and you can change the session default to several options including Gnome.
