And you'd voluntarily go back to that?

  Yes, that is what cloud computing is all about, with the added benefit making UNIX irrelevant. Now it is all managed runtimes, on top of type 1 hypervisors, and containers, with browser based shells and IDEs. Unikernels have won even if it doesn't look like it from the surface.

    I don't have an issue with unix but I still rely on being able to work in scenarios where I don't have a reliable/fast-enough internet connection to be able to run multiple hi-res GUI desktops remotely. If we get to the point super-low-latency network connectivity is as available as electricity, then sure, it's feasible. But even 30ms latency can make GUIs feel clunky to work with. I know some devs seem to tolerate it though.

      Modern times are wonderful fast versus using 1994 - 2000 network technology for X Windows / telnet based workflows.
