Well, I know about tens of users that have left Unity for either GNOME 3
in Ubuntu or another distribution for two reasons: Unity is slow (which
really is) and not productive. Some of them were power users.
In my experience, most people that have equally tried both Unity and
GNOME 3 like GNOME 3 more.

But there is no generally better environment. Everyone can pick what he
likes.
