Just upgraded to that on another machine and wondering why anyone would want to use the standard interface? It has slowed my machine to the point of unresponsiveness and hides menus on applications making them unusable too.
I'm back to LXDE on it.

I am messing about with it on a high end machine at the moment (with 
that said it seems a lot more responsive than the 11.* releases).
I still hate the global menus and the 'dashboard' dock thing. I quite 
like the new HUD as an addition (not replacement) to menus though. Being 
able to search for media is pretty nifty too. The software centre and 
upgrade system is much better, concurrent installs get queued and added 
to the 'dock thing'.
I don't think I could ever use it as a primary desktop but the direction 
its heading in does interest me for some peculiar reason.
