I think that as long as Canonical feels they have a winner they will
only improve what we are getting. If on the other hand if they start
feeling they are loosing users they will listen and change as needed.

Users are free to choose, and developers know this. As a user I will
make the choice that works best for me as most do with time. We can
only benefit from the lead developers in the Linux community, so keep
using what you feel is best of class.
