Oh, alright, I didn't know that. Maybe the name is a bit off :p.

Yes yes, I meant to say that it was that great, and even back in the 80s 
we already had it, but nothing more has improved in the meantime in 
Linux to say that we have surpassed that.

Currently Microsoft is unraveling that existing design but I don't think 
it is doing them much good: the menu based interface is generally still 
the best interface we have, except when screen real-estate becomes more 
important, I guess.

So I will agree with you that that existing design is almost the best 
thing you can get on a console.
