I know you're all trying to design a better BeOS user experience, but I'm gonna have to say I'm pretty skeptical about most of the UI ideas that are being shared at the moment.

My apologies for the lack of constructive criticism. :P

One possible way forward for research might be to look at the successful UIs out there, and see what works and what doesn't. Also, Windows and MacOS X, for example, have subtle as well as obvious differences, and it's not certain that one isolated UI feature would fit in the overall design of the other platform.

A UI has to be a well balanced. We can't add everyone's favorite UI feature. Keep it simple. Kill your darlings. Too many chefs make a recepy for lousy soup. Etc.

What can I say... you're wrong. I'm sorry you feel that way. Can't we innovate? I think we just did!
