There are no benefits to Unity.

They deserve credit for trying to do what took Mac, Windows, Gnome
and KDE decades. Where they made the mistake is in
the having the hubris to assume that they could do this in a much
compressed time frame.

They need to admit that desktop design and development is not
their specialty and go back to shepherding in new versions of
Ubuntu built high upon the shoulders of Debian, Gnome, the
Linux kernel, et al.

Unity needs to fade rapidly IMO or it needs to copy Gnome 3.

If Unity is still in the next LTS version, I'll probably switch to Mint or
Debian.

There is now a Mint based on Debian as well as one based on Ubuntu. It
looks as though Mint is abandoning Ubuntu.
