Yeah, if all our user interfaces resembled "The Little Prince", we'd get

so much more done.
I often hear reduced functionality touted as a feature. iOS users like

to claim that not having full multitasking is actually a plus, much as

Mac users did before OS X gave it to them, and Microsoft users did

before Windows NT. I tend to view praise for the absence of a popular

feature as sitting somewhere between the sunk-cost fallacy and Stockholm

syndrome.
Personally, I dumped both GNOME and Unity last year and am pretty happy

with Xfce for coding and making music. It stays out of my way, uses less

than 5% of my screen real estate. (It's also much, much more friendly to

being controlled remotely, as I'm doing right now, than the other two.)

The Ubuntu Studio guys have come to the same conclusion in the last

year, it seems. I think it's a good one.
But if I ever have a need to use a tablet with something other than

Android, sure, I'll look at them again. And I love the search-focused UI

paradigm... on my phone.
