Later, abusing cola 'advocates' by tossing their idiocy back in their
faces spurred me to use python to download Usenet posts and put them
into a relational database, from which I can extract drooling such as
this from Feeb in Oct 2017:
 
 

-------------------------------------------------------------------------

Beginning/top of post "When you say standardization, you of course mean
a standardized GUI toolkit, and that is what Microshit has and that is
what, admittedly makes Microshit a better choice than GNU/Linux."
 
 
End of same post:
".. the GUI interface, and especially a STANDARD GUI, severely limits
the capabilities of any computing machine. That is why GNU/Linux. with
its non-standardized assortments of toolkits and libraries is the
superior choice."

I looked it up, and didn't surprise me who brain-farted his way
through that post.

But regarding that matter, back when I used Windows, I showed
a screenshot of my desktop, where every application had its own
ideas about what it wanted to look like.  So Windows ain't "all that".

On my Linux desktop, the only apps with their own oddities are
those without title bars, such as Steam, obs-studio, and
the EDO game launcher.  Maybe Blender too.  So the idea
that Linux desktops are jungles of mis-matched interfaces
are somewhat exaggerated.
