I replaced Unity with i3 and have been living happily ever after.

+1 although an Ubuntu user since it's very first release, i3wm has been my go-to productivity DE for the last 5 years or so. Plus it's multiple-monitor support is superb, much more useful than Unity's


Indeed, I have a dual monitor setup (horizontal + vertical) and it's been a joy to finally have independent control of each one of them. Hated that Unity treated them as a single desktop.
