> You seem to be confused No i am not confused, i'm perfectly aware of what i am seeing and writing, thank you. > developers work with text. What more can computing power bring to text? This is highly myopic, there is more to development tools that just source code and even visualization of source code and programs do benefit from being able to work with graphics. There is more to computing and programming than a 70s terminal. And people use computers for more than programming. > I like using tiling WM's (dwm and Awesome) because they organize windows for me and nothing is hidden in a bar. The concept of workspaces is much nicer than shuffling windows around a screen. I can quickly jump between workspaces and immediatly see my windows and contents. Sure, although workspaces are available in overlapping window setups too. The rest you mention are just personal preferences, my comment weren't about liking tiling window managers over overlapping windows, it was about using those (and lightweight window managers - i included overlapping window managers too there) using them due to their resource use. > What more do I need? GPU rendering of windows? Why? I don't know but i have a feeling you'll just call irrelevant whatever i suggest. But honestly... > I along with many others enjoy doing more with less. My old i3 Thinkpad runs just fine. Plays youtube videos, streams music and edits text using OpenBSD. What more do I need? Why pointlessly throw more at a problem that doesn't need it? ...i think you totally missed the point of what i wrote. My point wasn't to throw more at a problem and especially not be wasteful about resources. Using and -especially- writing efficient software doesn't imply 70s terminal UIs. A Pentium at 133MHz with 32MB of RAM, a machine that is a fraction of power of even the first Raspberry Pi, can run at comfortable performance an interface as rich as Windows 98. Even the lowest of the low performance laptops you can get your hands on today will have a ton more power, yet people treat it like it isn't anything more than a dumb terminal.
