>That's very interesting! It is not. We are talking about a tool. An OS never meant to be sexy or visible or distracting or eye candy. It should support and serve the user and only the user. It have no other task. >What work and other activities do you do on it, and how does it compare to the last OS you used full time? Some programming, porting, listening music, organizing files, email, chat. None of this requires a wannabe mainframe OS on desktop, but also way too cumbersome to do it on mobile devices. It works for me. It lets me eliminate most distraction from my life. I maintain the conviction: what not possible with Haiku should not be done at all. >I've been curious about BeOS since I read Neal Stephenson's "In the Beginning There Was the Command Line", but I'm too young to have ever seen it in action. I have read it, it is a great example for the bias in the IT: always pick the mediocre solution and kill/ make impossible everything else. Sadly the programmers were always too autistic to understand what the auhor tried to say and the managers only interested in ROI. Therefore we are fucked with *nixes.
