So then by "modern Operating Systems" are you saying just GUI desktop integrated into the OS? And that this inherently better for such computing?
If so, wouldn't this approach effectively give *BSD user even less choices on the desktop since now you can only have the one desktop, I'm saying one because given the limit resources now if the GUI can't be a separate layer now everything is going to have to vetted by the core developers.
It would seem to me that only a commercial company can pull off something like this because of the time and resources, in which case we are back to OS X.
