Most developers are more concerned with improving the operating system itself than providing an inviting desktop experience. The problem is that it's very seldom that the people who call for an inviting desktop experience actually follow through with effort. When invited to do so, they usually cite a lack of various combinations of time, inclination and ability. None of the FreeBSD developers are against an improved "look'n'feel". They just happen to be more inclined to focus elsewhere. Ciao, Sheldon. To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-current" in the body of the message
