From "Seven Laws of Sane Personal Computing":
I – Obeys operator
The operator shall retain full control of the machine at all times. In particular, the handling of the keyboard, mouse, and other human interface devices must take absolute priority over all other processing. The operator shall have the ability to issue commands and receive immediate confirmation of said commands at all times, regardless of system load.

This sounds like gnome-shell, and it's atrocious. It's unresponsive and laggy under any sort of load, even the mouse cursor skips around
