New I recall the first time I saw X running.
Without any window manager at all. I was distinctly unimpressed. I would never call that a proper GUI. It couldn't even compare with Windows 3.0.

Adding twm to the mix helped a lot.

Truth is that which is the case. Accept no substitutes.
If competence is considered "hubris" then may I and my country always be as "arrogant" as we can possibly manage.
