Of course there are ubuntu distros dedicated to various flavours of 
desktops.

Not to start a flame war, but after I got used to the workflow of Unity, 
I admit I like it.  My apps are all available with a few key strokes and 
Unity tweak tool lets me optimize many things like window pan etc.  
Although I admit I spend most of my day in terminal or eclipse.
