Some people are interested in aesthetics, some people aren't.

Some like chocolate ice cream, some like vanilla.

Some people like to work in a park -- and some in
a post-industrial cyber dystopia.

Personally, I've been using xfce4 for years, and I have it
set up the way I like.  I _also_ have Cairo dock running, but
I hardly use it -- just interested in how stable it is, because
that's what I've got set up for Mrs. vallor.

For me, Linux desktop porn is fun to look at, but I tend to keep
things functional first.
