I currently use 10.04LTS and I use a dual-boot laptop to "test" out what 
the Ubuntu versions look like.  When I see that the newest version works 
and I can tweak it enough to switch over to it, then I will upgrade my 
default 10.04LTS desktop to it.  Right now running 12.04LTS Beta 
[April-12th download with the login of "GNOME Classic" seems to work 
better than 11.10's version.  There is an issue on the very limited 
theme choices and their tweaking options.  10.04 has many, many more 
available.  But if I have to live with what there is, then I will have 
to do so.  I hate Unity with a real passion.  I do not want my desktop 
to act like a tablet.

The LO included with the current Beta was 3.5.1.2, which it the "final 
version" of 3.5.1, I believe.  I will be removing that in favor of 
3.4.6, which is what I run on my desktop.

I still would prefer the options and tweaks that you get with 10.04, but 
that is going to be really too out-of-date soon.  As it stands, there 
are many packages that 10.04 does update, but not with the most current 
line.  Thunderbird is still being updated, but using the 3.x line 
instead of going to 11.x.  I installed TB 11.x myself and created a 
launcher for it.  That way, when there is an update for TB with 10.04, 
it will not overwrite the "proper" TB folders from 11.x back to 3.x.x.

But, all in all, 12.04 LTS seems to be better for those who want GNOME's 
2.x look and feel over GNOME 3 and Unity's look and feel.

I did not like having Writer, Calc, and the other LO icons show up on 
the limited left "panel" space that Unity uses.  I display Writer and 
the "all module" launch icons on my top panel and my desktop screen.  
Did not need Draw or the Presentation icons shown.

Well, that is my opinion.
But at least Ubuntu is making it easier for us GNOME 2.x people.
