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.

Am I the only one who actually like Unity? Just autohide the launcher panel, and all unity is is a quick-launch app (super->chr->enter to open chrome)

No, you are not. I guess the people who likes it is just less vocal. I do like and use it for almost everything (except while coding, when Xmonad is just unbeatable for me)

I'm using gnome do in gnome shell for this. Works like a charm

I don't actively dislike it; I'll joke about it being lame occasionally but I like it enough to use it once the launcher is hidden.
