We believe that UNIX is a superior operating system, it's just too complex for the average user, and sometimes tedious even for the UNIX gurus among us. By doing this, we can have a superior environment that will be able to satisfy everyone from the system administrator to the programmer and even the average user.
X just needs a few more tools to make it easier to manage.
Once you've learned the basic UNIX commands , the XTerms are very powerful but you need to learn a lot of command syntaxes. We intend to make our tools work easily together as well as apart. Unlike other attempts at enhancing the X desktop, we don't want to provide a monolithic system that is inflexible to your tastes. We want to instead write a suite of small and efficient applications and allow you to pick and choose the ones that suit your needs. We also intend to make our tools as window-manager independant as possible.
