I'm finding unison usable if not great. For my specific needs, it sucks less than the alternatives. I find it hilarious that some people think there's something wrong with the terminal. (i.e., "resort to"). One uses the best tools available, and for many things there's just nothing better. But some tools have a learning curve. If you aren't willing to learn to use the best tools, you may have to settle for lesser ones which are easier to use.
