Heresy: the more it looks like Windows (not Metro) the more I like it. I'm 
not fond of the Ubuntu 'Show Apps' display rather than a menu.

Sort of related:

The Linux download is an AppImage. The file was no sooner downloaded than 
appimaged recognized it and integrated it into the 'Show Apps' panel and

Like the article says for all purposes it looks like Firefox.  I wonder if 
the Linux distros will move to it rather than Firefox.
