A commercial model is no guarantee of quality, but it may well be
a prerequisite. 

One of the most underrated desktops -- and one I would dearly love
to see ported to the BSDs -- is GeoWorks. Tiny, super-efficient,
object-oriented, and INCREDIBLY fast. It was shoehorned into MS-DOS
with great effort.... The nasty, snaky code that retrofitted it into 
this environment could be removed, leaving a REALLY neat GUI.
