On Dave Winer's http://discuss.userland.com/ discussion area there's been talk about standardized GUIs for Linux. I don't get it. There are a couple of widget sets and key bindings out there, and I pick the one that works for me and use the application set that uses that interface. It's not like there's any shortage of word processors or spreadsheets or what-have-you for Linux. Related to that, I asked Dave Winer what's so great about a dedicated outliner and Dave missed the question. I responded, frustrated over my inability to understand that large gulf between the Mac/Windows users and the Un*x folk.
