There's a lot of "oh well" in the tech space. I was watching something on Pick OS yesterday, which I hadn't even heard of, which was a kind of filesystem/database/OS all together that was, if the comments on the video mean anything, quite loved.

But like BeOS (also loved) and other things just never got traction for various reasons.

I used Windowmaker for a lot of years as it was lightweight and I liked the UI, and always wondered "why not this? why ape Windows of all things?" The answer is usually something along the lines of "that's what people know," and I get it, but still.

I guess I miss the times when computers were cool.
