An imposed GUI wouldn't be a sign of freedom for me. Even a good GUI...

For example, OS X is a really good OS, with a very good GUI, well integrated.
But I prefer OpenBSD, just because it's more flexible.

I started to use computers with MS-DOS, just like you, and I use everyday Windows, OS X & OpenBSD, with Windows's Explorer, OS X's Finder, KDE, LXDE, XFCE, FVWM etc..., depending of the machine I use.
And I don't see much differences between those different OS & GUI.

I'm not resistant to anything.
But I really don't see the need for a new GUI, since BSD's GUI are sufficient enough.

So I wonder if a new GUI would change anything, except for a low percent of users...
