User expectations do, in fact, trump design simplicity. What's the fucking big deal about some old Athena-based program not having shadows under its menus? The typical "ooh! shiny" luser who cares about fancy anti-usability effects won't even know that such programs exist. But, I guess putting good design ahead of glitz is something that the desktop herd won't even consider in their quest for world domination. (And eradicating choice in the process by turning the OS into an idiot box that power users have hard time configuring to their needs anymore. fontconfig AA/XML-fascism being case in point. It's easier these days to switch to windows and enable unblurred fonts there than to configure FOSS crap to use unblurred fonts.) -- Tuomo
