"Hide as much inner working as possible" I think its a big mistake, people want to see how stuff works, what is loading on boot, what fails....

actually I think the GUI is usable, it seems simple and I believe I would learn it fast enough. However I do have a problem with the "atmosphere" that haiku's look and feel create. I wouldn't want to use it for a long period of time. I would like something less cartoonish but still sober enough

What's wrong with the GUI? I don't see it. I think it's fine.
