"Are we stuck with the same #Desktop #UX forever?" by @scottjenson

This confirms my presumption that we are not able to innovate our computer interfaces in a way that actually turns it into a much better experience for the general public.

and some of us drop the UI questions entirely with a command line interface!
@worldsendless @scottjenson My thoughts are actually dealing with way broader scope as you might think.
Why do we need file names and even #filesystems for user-land files?
Why do we need multiple "applications"?
And so forth.
So yes, while Scott and others try to improve the current situation with increments (which is very important!), I also think of leaving this local UI/UX optimum, throw lots of stuff away in order to reach a different optimum which is nearer to the global optimum.
