It seems like every time Ubuntu makes any sort of change, the Linux community finds itself up in arms as if the world is about to end.

This desktop environment serves me well, and my experience with the Ubuntu base has never given me any serious problems. In this article, I'll examine some of the most common fear, uncertainty and doubt (FUD) surrounding Ubuntu, areas where Ubuntu has accomplished seemingly impossible feats and some other important considerations.

Then goes on to say:
Quoting:... let's instead consider thanking the development team for their hard work at helping to grow the Linux community as a whole.


I agree, now, let's move on to another distro that doesn't only have its self interests in mind.
