Well, if Unity is under a free software license, I can't agree. Just because no one other then Canonical sees any value in supporting it doesn't make it wrong.
If Unity has a non-free license, then I agree with you. -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v2.0.19 (GNU/Linux) Comment: Using GnuPG with Mozilla - http://enigmail.mozdev.org/

being open source and being a good project are very different. For example when red hat has to release their kernel patches they just send a giant crappy tarball out and say "here we released it". Ubuntu is the same way. Unity does not work well with others, doesnt work on most distros, has weird patches required for low level libraries, is rather hackey... the source is available, but it doesnt mean its usable
just because its open source doesnt mean its a good project
