Also miss it. I took a couple of years to warm up to it. Then when started to I really really like it, it went downwards.
I‘ve actually stopped using Unity a few month before Canonical abandoned it because with all the Gnome applications moving into a completly different direction it didn‘t feel consistent at all anymore.
I’m not joking when I say that the compiz cube was the reason I got into Linux back in the day. In hindsight, it was just a neat graphical gimmick, but it was enough to spark my lifelong love for free software.
I had a live linux USB with Zorin, all set up with funky compiz cube animations and stuff. The casper-rw file always kept getting corrupted though and repairing it was a pain for me back then. That thing was what got me interested in Linux over a decade ago, I think I still have an image of it somewhere…
Then the RPi came along and sealed the deal. From that point on, I’ve always had a linux machine, up to now where my daily driver laptop runs Linux
