Agreed. I went in after reading some comments and fully expected to dislike it strongly, but there are some nifty ideas.

Might just need to add

- a fallback wm

- keyboard shortcuts (and all OS level shortcuts need to use Super/CMD/Windows so they won't collide with application shortcuts)

On a related note this might not be too much work to implement on top of KDE: it is extremely customizable and has tagging built in.




"Might just need to add

imo this is one of the major reasons windows 8's GUI, Metro, failed. They didn't go all in. I understand the rationale though

Not sure we'd liked it better if they'd made it completely unusable ;-)
