Thank you very much! :-)
It is very much a thing of modern times to be lectured on, for instance, desktop design, when I am fairly confident I've used more different desktop environments than the person accusing me is even aware exists.
(I would estimate I've used 35-40 different desktops across over a dozen or more GUI OSes. The first I owned myself was an Acorn Archimedes with RISC OS 2, an environment far weirder than any hardcore Linux advocate could even imagine… a default editor with two separate independently-navigable cursors (source and destination), three mouse buttons all heavily used, and no permanently on-screen menus of any kind (only context menus).
Ah well. So it goes.

It's not like you're designing them, you're just using them, just like me and millions of other people. >than the person accusing me is even aware exists. Care to point out what exactly did I accuse you of?
- lproven 2y agoI didn't. Turn your paranoia down. I never mentioned you once and none of this is specific or particular to you. But, to answer one point: yes, I do think that broad experience of lots of different desktop GUIs does qualify someone for comparing them, and for identifying particular strengths or weaknesses of particular ones.
