I might not qualify for any average or even Linux user, but I have done
much of the same wrt "desktop" UI's. I'm sticking with Ion3 (and rarely dwm
on some tricky systems where lua or something blows up). Practically never
having to resize or move frames (windows) and never having things obscured
or having to look for something or do pixel tweaks it is something I'll never
expect to want to give up again.
