Although like many I probably would prefer a traditional cursor, I appreciate that people are exploring the possibilities of the space. I hate change for its own sake. But there are so many choices that go into graphical user interface design. Even if we've hit a local maxima, I don't think we've hit on the best paradigm. We've only been at this for ~60 years or so. Not to mention the personal preference that goes into this. Keep exploring! Keep experimenting! (Just please don't force me to change how I use my computer against my will.)
