@kawa I'm a vi guy. No worries. I don't use emacs, and have no interest.
Is it because vi is better? No. It's because I'm old and cranky and I happily stick to what I'm good at. lol
Having said that, I remember a big push for 3D desktops that never fleshed out. Mainly because it's an amazingly useless gimmick. Do you really want to "swim" around to find your web browser launcher?
