Thanks to the author for writing about their exploration and learning. I'm also of the mind that user interface designers should dig deep into the past: System 7, RISC OS, BeOS, OS/2, Amiga OS, FM Towns, X68000, GEM, etc. So much good stuff.

Agreed.

Virtually every FOSS desktop environment out there feels very firmly built on the Windows and OS/2 tradition, and there is very little indeed that comes from any other tradition.

The ideas of boldly experimenting with alternatives seems to be confined to "hey, what if we moved the default button into the title bar?"
