Unity is not bad by any stretch, but it feels unfinished to me when I use it. I kept hitting the wrong thing and breaking the flow of whatever task I was doing. I'm sure with some more experience with it I'll quit doing that, but it kept violating my expectations and stealing my attention from more important things.
Gnome 3 was a big change, but felt much tighter and polished. I didn't seem to have to think too much about how to do stuff.
Based on that experience, I think I'd like to use Gnome 3 on Ubuntu long-term.
