In fairness, that probably means your preferences will be very different from those people who actually do use desktop environments.
I also think a lot of people (myself included) have a certain nostalgia for older, leaner desktop environments. That doesn't mean they can't be designed better, with more polish, using those same older design cues.
- wruza 10y agoI failed to see how control panel was any better in each 95/xp/7/10, except that my enemies can't find anything in it just like me. I also fail to see how w7 explorer became more 'convenient' without up button (and changing backspace key to back) but with annoying Libraries that are not even folders. Or removal of quick launch, so that icons on our taskbars now float and you search for a button to start that app. What you call polishing is just breaking familiar old-simple and building new-super-innovated-final-solution each year. Leave us power users alone, you hipsters!

I wish it was only confusing to power users. If it was actually intuitive to end users, it would have a justification. But no. I've yet to see a single user who can wrap their head around Windows 7's virtual libraries and why they're sometimes not acting like a real folder but most of the time do.
