I wonder how humans regressed to mosquito-levels of long-term memory.

Olwm was gorgeous. Elegant and stays out of the way.

Range extenders are not new. The BMW i3 could be equipped with one (which was loud and didnβt do much).

I miss the wobbly windows I had in Linux when we started playing with Compiz.
Or neko on my Sun machines.
As for weird-shaped windows, I think it is about ergonomics. A different shape requires more thinking to operate. Form should follow function, not the other way around - if the odd shape serves a purpose, then it makes sense. If it's just to show off, or to make the app look different, then it becomes a usability issue.
