The fun thing about software dreams is that theoretically nothing prevents one to implement them. People coded OSes (or sometimes only GUIs/Shells, or only filesystems) which radically implemented their heroic concepts, which is frequently "everything is an X", where X could be a file, a database (item), something visual, an object (as in OOP), etc. I love these concepts. And I love when they get popular, such as Plan9. I also like when they get successful, such as Mac OS classic. But what I don't get is demanding that everybody should use that OS. There are reasons why concepts are successful or fail. Frequently, they are based on economics, i.e. ultimately: money. Concluding: Guys, please continue to dream of what an "ultimate" or "perfect" computer experience would be for you. Tell the world about it. Implement it if you can. It makes a difference, even if it's only around interested peers.
