I've had so many problems with my initial 11.04 x64 install. I eventually switched to the x86 install when my attempt to upgrade to 11.10 x64 broke the installation (froze on some step), but it turns out my SSD started failing soon after so I had to reinstall a third time onto a replacement. Doing alright now.

I don't see much point though, unless the latest version really is significantly worse.

LTS would make a whole lot more sense, yes. I would even recommend 10.04 over 10.10 and 11.04. 10.04 still uses GNOME Classic, actually, so one would be able to get a feel for both the classic UI and the new Unity UI that's included in 11.10. I'm pretty sure my old install of 11.04 x64 used Classic as well, mostly because Ubuntu's graphics drivers for Intel HD graphics weren't good enough to handle Unity back then. 11.10 is fine, though. I'm finding it pretty smooth.

I'm more of a Windows guy myself, too. Ubuntu just takes some getting used to.
It's all psychology. Change is difficult to do - once you get used to something and get comfortable with it, you don't want to switch away. I'm certain that if you started with Ubuntu and tried Windows for the first time, you would say the exact same thing about it and say you're more of an Ubuntu person.

The first thing I did when I installed the latest ubuntu was switch to gnome-fallback. Unity feels like it was made for a phone or something.
