Re: UI design | enhancements.

What I meant to say is you can't apply aesthetics of art
to UI as the latter has a functional purpose. And we don't

In other words, I don't think a UI discussion would be
fruitless. Not to replicate KDE/Gnome etc. but to find
other alternatives that feel more in tune with plan9.
