It certainly should look to something.
I find Linux really handy but its still much more rough around the edges than Windows. Some of this is due to its open mix-and-match philosophy, so things aren't as tightly integrated as they could be. But some of it I think is not, they are simply trying to outshine MacOS, Vista etc and failing miserably.
How I wish AmiWM was still being improved. If it was a full desktop suite instead of simply a window manager I would probably use it.
I use KDE4 now but I still think KDE and Gnome are just too heavy and the rest seem too light. I am yet to find a happy medium that hits the spot.
