Not intending to open up the discussion of Gnome vs Unity, simply
expressing my own personal opinion about 18.04 Bionic Beaver choice of
Gnome.

Gnome 3.28 feels like a significant downgrade to me, coming from 16.04
Unity interface. I played with it for a few days in an honest attempt
to get used to it and make the most use of it. No, I am missing too
many time-savers from Unity. I am missing my Thunderbird icon in the
system tray. Finally, I gave up and switched back to Unity + compiz
and now I am happy again.

The good thing though is that, once Unity is installed on 18.04, you
get to choose to login to Unity or to Gnome/X or even to Gnome/Wayland
in case you want to continue playing around with Gnome.
