For people upset by Canonical's decision to abandon the Unity Desktop environment on Ubuntu - in particular Unity8, its being forked by the Yunit project - first on Debian and later it will be backported to Ubuntu: https://yunit.io/ The same thing was done for MATE when GNOME abandoned work on GNOME 2. Unity is not quite dead and buried yet.
LOL. it's interesting how people's attitudes could change over time. I still remember when Unity was first out, almost no one liked it, including myself. Now that Unity 8 is gone, I realized that I actually already get used to it's UI. Especially when coupled with some docking app such as Cairo Dock or Docky etc, it's quite neat and clean DE.
