I was joking.  I think it's the worst UI I've ever seen.  You go to click on a button and it moves away from under the mouse.  Some buttons can only be clicked on by following them as the move.  It looks flashy, but it's completely hostile.

aka "tiled window management"

i used the Siemens tiled window manager on X10 back in the mid-80s. it
got quite annoying after a while because changes to the size and
placement of a single window propagate to many others. contrast to
regular window management, where you can resize or reposition a
specific window, and the rest stay just where you put them last.

obviously, ymmv. it does look stylish, i'll agree.
