It is. I used it back in the v4 and v5 days, and it was great then. Now it's on
v7.0 and I can't say anything bad about it yet. :)

It's not the fact that old isn't any good. Debian, for example, even running
the "testing" version doesn't give you anything _close_ to bleeding edge.
Whereas Ubuntu, Sabayon, or something of the like keeps you close enough to
bleeding edge to keep users happy, but usually doesn't break your system,
either.

Doesn't it come with Unity by default -- with Ubuntu (not talking about any of
the other *buntu variants here). I installed what they offered at ubuntu.org
by clicking the huge orange button (Get Ubuntu) or something. So, it seems as
though they're really trying to promote this.

I use KDE with any distro, just because I like QT's smoothness much better than
GTK. But I'd be willing to bet there's a BUNCH of upset Gnome/Ubuntu users out
there. :)
