I tried it and honestly and very disappointed. I know its still young but right now I think both ubuntu and gnome are going the wrong way with their environments. Its like everyone is going towards touchscreen interfaces, but hey, I still have a keyboard over here.
The gnome 2 I currently have beats both gnome3 and unity hands down. I don’t like having to hunt programs, let me organize things the way I want them, I don’t want to have to search for things every time I want to do something.
Very concerned with where you are headed here.

simply put
-I have a netbook. My main concern is speed. I want a light OS
-I download ubuntu netbook remix. I wasn’t given any options on the applications / components I want. In fact, I’ll be using almost none of them.
-very limited OS. I HATE having to search for everything before I can use it. WTF?
-it is the SLOWEST OS I’ve EVER used on a netbook after a CLEAN install.
-I’m very disappointed
-I have to resorted back to windows…
