I often hear reduced functionality touted as a feature. iOS users like to claim that not having full multitasking is actually a plus, much as Mac users did before OS X gave it to them, and Microsoft users did before Windows NT. I tend to view praise for the absence of a popular feature as sitting somewhere between the sunk-cost fallacy and Stockholm syndrome. Personally, I dumped both GNOME and Unity last year and am pretty happy with Xfce for coding and making music. It stays out of my way, uses less than 5% of my screen real estate. (It's also much, much more friendly to being controlled remotely, as I'm doing right now, than the other two.) The Ubuntu Studio guys have come to the same conclusion in the last year, it seems. I think it's a good one. But if I ever have a need to use a tablet with something other than Android, sure, I'll look at them again. And I love the search-focused UI paradigm... on my phone.
