</div>Because they're not open source, cost significant money and not<br>
Ubuntu? Seriously though, the hate for things that resembles OSX<br>
simply because they resemble OSX is getting old and is basically an<br>
argument for the status quo. The status quo is somewhere north of<br>
MacOS 9, I think.<br>
<br>
Intrepid is the perfect time to try out new themes and UI -- the last<br>
release was an LTS so people wary of retraining have something else to<br>
fall back on, and we'll have the largest amount of time possible for<br>
feedback and testing.<br>
