You get "Power Off" instead of "Log Out" from pressing Alt when the menu 
is shown. This is counter-intuitive IMO.

Additionally, if you have one user on the system anyway, why would you 
ever need "Log Out" or "Switch User", they seem quite redundant to me?

I agree with Alan on the Suspend vs. Hibernate issue too. I remember a 
GUADEC or two back, I shut my laptop lid, thinking it was hibernated and 
it didn't. Instead, it almost overheated and I lost all my battery power 
by the time I noticed. Suspend is quite useless for me generally and 
with today's SSD speeds, booting up is just as fast as hibernating on my 
Lenovo X201.

The other reason I don't use it is related to network manager/sim card 
issues when trying to use a 3g network when travelling - but that may 
have been fixed by now.
