I think the most common complaint of people using Linux CLI or GUI
tools is that they look dated.
Are they taking Microsoft, of all people, as arbiters of good taste?
There are definitely more people out there who are fans of the
Microsoft aesthetics than there are people who appreciate the dated
interfaces of open-source software. All of them will admit that the
"ugly" software still does the job, but it appears that the way a
program looks is as important as whether it completes the task.
I'll admit I did like WinAero.
Yeah, Windows Vista had some nice stuff in there. I recall that it had
animated wallpapers that I liked a lot, and I was a fan of the widgets.
I'm not sure why they retired both. I can still get the former using the
AURA Wallpaper service on my computer, but I don't see why it can't be
standard on Windows 11. As for the widgets, I don't see why they were
removed. They worked, they looked right... I don't see what the problem
was.
