Question for net.views column in UNIX Today!

[Michael Almond]

No, a single GUI isn't needed.  Multiple GUI's fosters competition and thus
progressively better interfaces.  Look at how the Mac interface has stagnated.

However, it would be nice if the user could pick the interface regardless of the
application.  One of the prime considerations that should go into developing a
UI should be giving the user a choice.

Maybe you could contact Bill Rouse, the president of my company.  Our company
does quite a bit of research in the area of UI in general.
