FWIW, I don't think these changes were an improvement. I find "not
important" more readable in those sentences.

Really? All of them? I only did a few. Some were better as "not
important" and I left those. Let me know.

Yes.. Perhaps "not important" just feels better to me in general than
"unimportant".

I agree that none of these looks like an improvement. A couple look like
50-50 choices, but it doesn't look to me like "not important" is clearly
worse in any of them.

Yeah, it's probably subjective, but for me "unimportant" has
negative, dismissive overtones, while "not important" does not.
Sort of like the way "unpleasant" has a different meaning than "not
pleasant".

I feel the same way.
Even though 'logically' they have the same meaning, I think...
