Don't be sad. Be proud of what you guys have accomplished so far.

I've never spent a few days thinking about a Linux distro except for ElementaryOS: Luna. I spent 3 days including burning multiple CD of the 64-bit image (I don't know why but it seems to me that your 32-bit image works better) and finally got mine setup a few hours ago today.

I've imported my pictures. Installed a few other software (VLC, Chrome) and even thinking of learning Vala! (got MonoDevelop with Vala plugin installed). It's very unusual of me to jump into an obscure language (mind you I do Java for work and I'm spoiled with the tools, the best practices, the mature 3rd-party libraries).

Mind to share some tips of Vala development (project structures, IDE/editor, unit-testing, continuous-integration, etc)?

PS: I might be the minority but I never like launchpad and secretly wish you guys move out of it. Their UI is very confusing and in most cases I can't even see a screenshot for some of the projects that link back to Launchpad.
