Perfect UI
lazygamer:
3D GUI's for Linux? Are those some gimmick thing, or is it like moving around in a quake-ish world that is linked to your comp?

Well, here is ThreeDFM:

What were the other two? ThreeDFM reminds me of the open source network monitoring packages I use (netsaint). Using it I made a VRML network map that you can navigate in 3d and easily see what network devices are having trouble.

According to my boss there is also a 3d desktop environment being developed. Have to ask him for the link though because I couldn't find it.
AlexMax:
The perfect UI for me is a command line. To hell with Windows Explorer, give me a DOS prompt any day. And with Linux, it's no contest for bash.
Command lines are so convenient. Not just in an OS either. Having used AutoCAD LT for a while now, I don't know what the heck I would do if they axed the command line. And that's just one example of how good command lines are. Can a GUI handle wildcards well? Didn't think so, unless it's *.* (Select all).
I highly doubt that command lines will ever be phased out on the higher level programs. No, XP is not a high level program.
