Isn't Gnome-Do just a Quicksilver clone? Rythmnbox just a take on iTunes for Linux? Both are great applications, and arguably an improvement on the projects that inspired them, but I wouldn't say they great examples of innovation.
- tvon 16y agoYes, and The GIMP is Photoshop for Linux. Great projects and all, but none are especially innovative on the surface. I should say though, I think people put far, far too much weight on "innovation" and "originality" (not mentioned here but along the same lines).
- jules 16y agoWhich apps do you think are innovative then?
- Locke1689 16y agoXMonad?
- jules 16y agoIn what way?
- jules 16y agoTiling window managers existed long before xmonad.
- Locke1689 16y agoTrue. Actually one of the most impressive things about XMonad is as a proof of concept of both Haskell in general but also Haskell as a configuration scripting language. That said, it was more important for me that it was a tiling window manager, not that it was XMonad (it's simply the one I use). Dwm would probably work just as well.
