Papercuts? More like deep stab wounds that require major surgery.
You can't polish a turd. It still has linux underneath it. The problem is there is no fixing linux. Its inner workings of being a mesh of patches taped together make it very hard to develop and use. You can't just slap a new UI on it and think its going to magically work. That is why this project will fail. What ever happened to Ubuntu's trying to make its UI more "Mac OS X" like? Another failed project. This is nothing more than putting lipstick on a pig.
