Ok. So does anybody use octopus these days?
Why not? (Who wouldn't like a ubiquitous environment?)
What do the authors of octopus use instead these days? (Clive seems
to me to serve a completely different purpose.)

It seems the octopus environment uses a tile-like management
of its windows, unlike rio, where windows can overlap.
Has anybody done any experiments to arrive at a rio-like feel?

How is it with the need for inferno?
(I tried to install octopus now on 9front. Unfortunately it asks me
too many questions I am, at this moment, unable to answer---I do
not understand them.)

Thanks
