There a number of options for improving the lack of finder options in Ubuntu. Two solutions are immediately obvious. I am not going to tell you which one gets my vote, because obviously DockbarX will have a loyal following as too will Globalmenu. And, yes there are a number of other taskbar and finder/application docking options such as Gimmie and Gnome Main Menu, which deserve their own postings. But here is the first in a toss up in the great Ubuntu Finder Wars.
DockbarX
Pro
Simple, clean, unobtrusive solution
Makes other docks redundant
Follows Ubuntu notifications scheme
Windows 7-like taskbar
Con
Windows 7-like taskbar.
Not a true dock replacement
Globalmenu
Pro
In your face, tell me where I am
Could be the apple finder with a little imagination
Con
In your face, tell me where I am
Bastardisation of the apple finder
Takes up way too much room
Uses text when a simple icon would do
Text font way too large
Notifications not in keeping with Ubuntu
