Thirded, if there is such a thing. :) I don't understand the animousity towards non-destructive change/possible ideas for the future. I personally am happy with CLI on my servers, I don't even consider running OSOL on the desktop anymore - I gave up. So, for me, I would never use such GUI tools. I just felt if you want desktop users, you should cater to them somewhat as well. Apple has done many things wrong, but out of all the GUIs I've used (short of something like Nextstep - and this is kinda apple-ish) Apple has done the best. Cloning the basics of windows and extending it for your purposes is status quo nowadays for unices. I understand the logic/reasoning, it's easier for new users to learn - but there is something to be said for breaking the mold now and then. Desktop design is one of those nasty little areas that we've been stuck in a rut for a LONG time in. Oh well, I'm typing this on an OSX laptop, and sending it via Sun Java Messenging Server, can't complain. Best server os: osol, best desktop os: osx. Maybe some decade somebody will get the equation figured out and combine the best of both.
