This is rather incorrect assumption. UIs is not something people want, it's something people want to not to get in their way, i.e. the opposite of wanting. And to your example modern Gnome is actually worse than AOL times UIs, it breaks a lot of expectations users used to Mac or Windows have, with proper menus not hidden away and better workflows.
- afiori 7y agoI actually often want UI to be beautiful. That can take many forms, "vintage" included. > And to your example modern Gnome is actually worse than AOL times UIs Totally true, the amount of missing functionality and weird behavior is huge. Yet I do prefer it to KDE as it is in practice more pleasant to look at.
