I think its better if the software speaks for itself. Marketing will
never make up for technical shortcomings. People need programs that
just work. The software i like the most are those that requires no
configuration and does not require a manual to figure out the
interface. Geeks are people too.

I have tried joining several window system projects myself for a few
years but i never went far. I always got lost in the compexity of it
all. I just gave up on the whole WIMP paradigm. In my opinion its just
not the way to go anymore.
