That'll be the real killer. For all intents and purposes, this is a brand new OS. It's gotta develop a software market from scratch.

Yeah. But it has the "Amiga" name behind it. And when that name comes into play, everything else always just falls into place. ;-)

Hmmm. So I can put a CPU (or whatever) monitor on the panels, configure the windec buttons (I want an always-on-top button), have window snapping there too of course, and fully configurable actions (eg I want doubleclick on the windec to maximize the window, don't like shade at all).
who am I kiddin', NO DE has half the functionality in the panels alone KDE has. Even KDE 4 is gonna be a step backwards from kicker in KDE 3.5.x, gonna take a while to get back at that 
So I think I can forget about what KWin can do, even 'neh neh you can't find any config option cuz I have so many of them layed out horribly' compiz can get close. I'm not going to get used to a DE without proper focus stealing prevention - XP makes me grind my teeth...
And I don't believe ANY OS/DE has anything comparable to Konqueror - again a showstopper for me.

It seems your experience of DE has been limited to Windows, Gnome and KDE.
If they were the only DE that ever existed, I would understand you opinion. However, please understand that it's not the case. ATM, you're just trying to convince us that KDE is the only one you could use because it's the only one that has mouse-support.

It probably has as much if not more functionality but lacks in apps ;D..
Or well, lacks in new modern versions of apps, there are plenty of old apps for all sorts of usage of course.
