"The purpose of this article is not to emphasize the strengths and merits of Ubuntu user experience, but instead to shed a brighter light on areas that have been neglected due to shortage of time and resources, usability testing, and various software and artwork defects. I hope those who are sometimes overprotective of open-source software will take my recommendations with a pinch of salt and see this article for what it really tries to be: a vocal user experience report and constructive criticism."

I hope that the Gnome and Ubuntu people pay close attention to this for future releases.
To me, it is especially important that they pay some attention to making the 3d desktop features really work well and cleanly. It seems as if so much work has gone into getting them to work at all, that they have ended up lacking a considerable amount of polish (though, I still love having them enabled on my 7.10 install).
The rest of his issues were less useful, imo. I would have preferred him to focus more on the overall picture than so much worrying about widgets. But worrying about widgets is important as well, I guess.
It would be nice if someone would go through the whole preferences panel and reorganize. It has become chaotic and disorganized, imo.
