    Simply implementing the NeXTStep v3.3 look and feel would immediately solve most problems, I think.

    I used an actual NeXT workstation for 8 months as my only desktop in the mid 1990s and it was the most integrated and best GUI I’ve ever used.

      Have you tried Nextspace? The project is aiming to replicate the look and feel of NeXTSTEP.

        Yeah I have; it needs some polishing but it’s good.
