So does Plan 9 use TWM then? I like TWM, but only since I sat down to learn some about it. I only ever use it if I've yet to have installed another window manager or if I don't wanna start up a desktop enviornment or XFCE or fluxbox (because that would mean installing it).

Things I Dislike The Appearance Of:

2) Windows 1.01-1.03 (color scheme is awful)

3) Windows 2.03 (sort-of ugly)

3) New Deal UI (same issue with previous):

4) ReactOS (it's an early beta, but it's very unpolished):

I would have put Mac OS X, but to be honest, I don't the window themes Apple puts in it. Something about the UI pisses me off. (spacing perhaps, sizes of things?)
And XP doesn't get listed on either. The Royale theme that was released last year is a big improvement (in my opinion) over the Luna crap. It leaves some to be desired (I wish it came in more than just blue, where's my bloody black, dark-red, orange, green, and purple? The green start button can be a bit annoying at first too) but I can tolerate it better than both Luna and Classic.

Funny...with all my contempt for Windows, I think the 95 GUI is the best they ever managed. It's great.
Let's see if I can list my favorites in order...
1. Mac System 1.1
2. Mac System 7.5
3. Windows 95
4. Mac OS X 10.3+
5. Gnome 2.8+
6. Fluxbox

Ha! I actually own a copy of this. It's not as bad as it looks.

I've used the Tandy Deskmate UI before via emulation.
That thing was painfully slow, and the color scheme is bleh. It does a lot though, i'll give it that.
Wonder what the SDK for that thing was like.
