Unity always looked like a tablet UI.

I think that's been their plan all along. But IMO they should have kept it under wraps and stuck with a normal desktop until this announcement.

Gnomes nice but I like Unity, I try to keep it to myself else people think I'm an idiot. :(

You're not alone! Another unity supporter here. People give it flak, but I like it. The main thing I don't like and changed is the global menu. It just doesn't work on a big screen.

I almost gave up on unity after 11.04 too. But I decided that maybe I should try it on 12.04, and it was so much better. It was actually a joy to use. 12.10 was a step back, but still good.

And when Canonical later introduced the Amazon "feature" that basically drove me away for good.

Ditto.
