If the AmigaOS/MorphOS GUI looked like this would you still want it?

if the amigaos or morphos(whichever you prefer) had a plain dull unconfigurable GUI, would you still use, buy, and like the os?...

...i would like to know how much would it matter to you? would you give up and go to another os, try and program some patches, or otherwise be dissatisfied by amigaos?

I'd be very dissatisfied.  Yes, I know that the stuff in the background of an OS is much more important, but that's worse than older versions of AmigaOS.  If the MOS/AOS team came up with that, then it would show that:

1) They've got no pride in the OS

2) They've completely stopped all the configurability in 3.5/3.9 which lots of people used - ie didn't listen to and respect the community

3) They want Amiga to stay a niche OS

If I saw that on OSNews I'd be extremely embarrassed - and probably wouldn't buy it.  Not because the underlying modules were bad, but because time had been spent on a new GUI that was far worse - I'd think that the developer team were exremely incompetant.

buh, what is exactly the point of this post?

IMO it's just interesting to see how people value GUI over the workings of an OS and visa-versa.  It's a hyperthetical question - a not-wonderful GUI that cannot be configured (ie you cannot just say "I don't like it, but I'd change it).

And, of course, AOS and MOS won't have a GUI like that.  Well they'd better not :-)
