This may be silly question but what is behind the interest of developing new Linux desktops?
I have been using Unix/Linux from early 90's and desktops have always been fine most of the time. twm was fine, UDE was fine, FVWM was fine, I would be using them even today except that I'm lazy and satisfied with what comes out of the box. There is different types of eye candy and taskbars etc. but why are they so important? Interaction is not faster or easier than it was before. Configuration is easier but you don't need new desktop for that.
