I will agree that the coolness factor is way up there, but how will that be useful? I really don't care what order the files in a certain directory are in, as long as they're in that directory.

The fact that it's still a GUI?

I'm not too sure about this. In concept it seems like a good idea, but I'm not certain how practical some things are in it. For example, scrunching up files. If in real life I do that, it stays on my desk forever. I don't need that on my computer as well. I suppose that after some practice, this might be a pretty neat program to use. Only time will tell I suppose...

7 minutes just to explain how to arrange your desktop?

Too complicated for a meaningless tast.

Driving my 4Runner at ~19mi a gallon isn't very practical, but it sure is fun.

I'd just as soon type "mv foo > /dev/null" than drag something to the recycle bin. But maybe that's because it's not too much of an inconvenience for me to hold onto my geek title.
