The only thing I am missing from yum is tools to search for packages. Most of the time it doesn't slow me down much but it'd be nice to check if a package exists before I try to blindly install it. Tips welcome! I still install most everything via Synaptic (System > Administration > Synaptic), where you search for packages, and can see what's available, what's installed, etc. But if you're used to the command line, it'll probably be too slow for you :o)
I had my panels completely disabled in Lucid Beta (not just on autohide - the line still showing up annoyed me) and replaced with AWN, which was very shiny. But it also covered things too often on the bottom of the screen, especially when browsing the internet, and when installing Lucid proper, I so far stayed with the panels, and am happy with them. But they're definitely not as shiny as a dock.
