Do you blame them? Have you *seen* Gnome3 and Unity?

Actually I've been happily using Unity since Ubuntu 12.04 was
released. It's not brilliant but I don't think it's as terrible as
some people would have you believe.

twm FTW.

Just installed that, running it now - it really shows how sloppy my
mouse control has become, not sure whether I should blame Unity or
decrepitude. It's a while since I've used focus follows mouse too.
