Just get me my desktop!!!! (Score 1)

I have ran just about every GUI in existence since Windows 1.0, this includes Linux, Mac and SPARC. For me it boils down to the same thing regardless of the GUI... Can I work THE WAY I WANT TO?..... Those GUIs that allow me work the way I want, either out of the box or with some minor customizations, get to stay around for while. Those that don't get tossed. Simple as that. I think those that are changing GUIs today need to be mindful that users want to work the way they want to work and have little patience for jumping, what they perceive as hoops, just to get something done in manner they are accustomed.
