I absolutely LOVED running Solaris 7/8 on my x86 desktop in college. It made me feel like a "real" developer. Even though CDE and MWM look positively ancient by today's standards, there's still something about them I really enjoy. They feel like you're using your computer to do "work". I enjoy macOS, but there's still something about that UI that makes it feel like a consumer-focused machine (understandably). The old-school Linux/Unix UI always felt like it was designed for someone different. I wish that there were a more modern version of CDE/MWM that maintained that same feel. Updated rendering, compositing, etc. but without the sad attempts at "commercial appeal" like I see in Gnome and KDE now.
