This is definitely going to get the thread swamped with nostalgia. I
actually remember NeWS in the early 90s and the lesson for us here is
that it was so badly implemented it was almost unworkable. Sun never
fixed it as presumably they knew they were going to bin it in favour of
X. My point is that whatever we do, let's learn from NeWS, Mess Windows
and KDE and actually put priority on fixing what we have. It's better
to have a less than ideal design, correctly implemented, than a perfect
design with blatant user-visible defects.
