There is more than one issue with Unity, absolutely, and I probably
should have phrased it this way - the community engagement issue is
going to come to a head over the launcher.  It's likely to be the first
flaw a new user encounters in Unity, and certainly generates more forum
posts than any of Unity's other quirks.

The difference between Linux and commercial operating systems is that
Linux is community-driven, and while Mark makes a good point about
dispersed efforts hurting development, the community has the ultimate
decision-making power. In this case, it's Canonical's job to lay out a
vision; it's the community's job to fill in the details.

It's only a matter of time before the community patches in a movable
dock. The demand is there, and the implementation can be done by one
person. The question in my mind is how Canonical will respond to that
patch - will they give preference to their design or to the community's
wishes?
