Did I say it was "elegant"? How kind of you to preserve and remember my
example of what can be done with fluxbox and compton. I will often open up a
number of windows on my github app to create a screenshot showing multiple
dialogs and editing windows at once.
You missed capturing my demo of fluxbox tear-off menus back then
You showed me mine. Now show me yours. :-D

both you and Stéphane lack when attempting to make your arguments be
convincing: you're following the path of 'Religious Zealot'.
Dude, you're trying to say that people cannot strongly prefer something not
provided by the vendor?

No. What I'm saying is simply that no matter how loudly they try to
stomp their feet, their mere personal preference doesn't constitute
objective proof that the mainstream UI solution is allegedly as horrible
as they try to claim.
It provides all the proof they need to avoid it. For me, I can't fscking stand
using Windows, even with the help of Git Bash.
