I agree. Its important major distros have a common UI to enable Linux to be adopted more easily among people who just want to use a better OS than Windows. It will help breed familiarity with Linux if it had a common UI, even if the internal stuff like packaging were different. Other distros can offer a variety of UIs to Linux-savvy users who can chose what fits them best. I think its time for the major players to agree on a standard UI.
