I once used octopus.
It uses inferno as the= middle layer of graphics, which made the
octopus somewhat compli= cated, I felt. =C2=A0 I'm not against the inferno,
however, o= ctopus could make the graphics much easier and simpler.
Therefore= , using inferno made the purpose unclear I thought.
That's th= e reason I left from the octopus.

sorry nemo.

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
Ruda
