[litestep] A theory about the decreasing popularity

So we all know that Litestep is losing users, and is not nearly as popular
as it once was.

I would like to state for the record that I think this is due to the
internet, and the web 2.0 stuffs going on.
Take for instance the web browser: firefox.
Firefox is another open source effort.

If people used their computers (eg word, office) more than their browser (eg
google, wikipedia)
then Litestep, an open source shell should be more popular than firefox.

Think about it. Web browsing is 1 capability of an OS. Litestep basically
skins the shell of that OS.
How is litestep losing popularity?

Its because people are using their browsers far more than any other function
of a computer.

As an example, with tabbed browsing, people dont need/require/want a VWM
anymore. Its not that big of a deal anymore.

P.S.
Just a theory, no data was collected to form these opinions or anything.
