I use LightDM as much as possible - It works, it's fairly light and I understand the config file. It works fine with XFCE and LXDE ... all I use. May not be The Fastest That Ever Was under all circumstances, but 'convenience' and maturity DO count a lot. I don't game, I don't try to stream 8K video. I don't want eye-candy.

The Lawrence nick is more often trolling than not. You've just noticed one of its trolling patterns.

What do you think about Genera (the Symbolics Lisp Machine OS)? I think it had a very good GUI that combined CLI and GUI in a symbiotic way. 'Andreas -- ceterum censeo redmondinem esse delendam

Genera became “Open Genera”, which was made available on DEC Alpha machines, as just another X11 client. That, to me, shows the benefits of modularity that X11 gave to the *nix world. Meanwhile, Microsoft and Apple (and other proprietary vendors, including Be and NeXT) were busy tying their GUIs inextricably into the OS kernel, so it was not modular and replaceable.

That one's still on my to-do list as far as trying it out. (I have a couple Alpha boxen I could run it on, just haven't gotten around to it.) From what I've seen looking at overviews/screenshot tours, it strikes me as one of those systems that's heavily tailored and likely very nifty for one specific use case or workflow, much like Plan 9 - I prefer a user environment that's more generalized and agnostic about what you're doing to one that's hyper-focused on assisting with the *doing* part, when what I actually *want* to do may not be the thing it was designed to facilitate. (My overall philosophy of computer interaction: I want something simple and consistent in the mechanics so's I don't waste mental energy having to *think* about how it works, and beyond that I'd prefer it to stay out of my way and just let me work. All other things being equal, I'd *also* like it to be aesthetically pleasing.) But this is, admittedly, first impressions from a distance; should really get around to trying it sometime.

The thing is, we don't reinvent > the wheel every 5 years! What those 'developers' overlooked is that we didn't 'reinvent the wheel'. A modern wheel is, functionally, largely the same as that chariot wheel a thousand years ago. What got 'invented' were better materials out of which to make said wheel (iron, steel, aluminum, various rubber compounds for tires, etc.) and better ways of attaching the wheel to the axle (bearings, lubricants, etc.) and better ways of suspending the axle to allow greater movement of the axle than the carriage (suspension arms, springs, shock absorobers to quell oscillations in those springs, etc.). But the 'wheel' itself (a round disk attached to an axle so it can rotate) did not get reinvented. Some get so wrapped up in "inventing a new (different) wheel" they completely forget about "inventing an improvement in the existing wheel" is also very much a thing.

Among the categories of fundamental mechanisms, we find, not the wheel as such, but the wheel and axle. Because a wheel without an axle to spin round isn’t much use. But nobody says “reinvent the wheel and axle” in a disparaging way, do they? Because that has been done countless times, in countless ways, using different technologies for different applications each time.

In aircraft design, the goal is to not kill anybody. In consumer software, the goal is to sell as many copies as possible, as often as possible. If there are bugs, you sell them a bug fix. If the bug fix introduces more bugs, you sell them another bug fix.
