The “nothing ever ages out” bit at the end was my favorite part. Real desks solve this with piles: nothing moves, stuff just gets buried, and how deep it is tells you how stale it is. Feels like windows could go dormant in place (fade, shrink) instead of getting reaped, so you keep the spatial memory.

I wonder if «ship something new by default» is a good goal as it forces a complete design, or a bad goal as lacking resources for focus groups it is better to ship widely multiple differently weird options to try out, and see what feedback will be to add some more.

Anyway, I think I have most of the broad features with my deeply customised StumpWM-config, but in a significantly different way, and idiosyncratic enough way that it neither generalises well nor make me insterested in trying out something with wider targeting…
