but the reference to 'thinkers' was inept but I doubt it was meant to
imply that _you_ are not a thinker!
I would rather say that the Trinity interface is "really good for
thinkers," "designed for thinkers," and without prejudice to people
with other preferences, it can be recommended as such.
(as an aside, I don't see the problem though in calling oneself a
'thinker'. it's not like boasting of one's humility! and it would be a
blunder if I thought saying I'm not superficial is saying something
deep otherwise no problem in it.)
anyway the OP can speak for himself but I hope we don't let this spoil
good relations.
that said, I wholly concur with his opinion though.
I am also interested in suggestions that enhance function.
and yes, it is time for another contribution.

For people who think that they are thinkers, first of all, you
cannot say yourself that you are a thinker. Second, if you were a
thinker, you would not talk or write to someone in such rude,
hostile and unrespectful ways. Are you a misfit? How can you talk to
other humans beings while keeping some mutual trust and good
relations?
Some respects for the others is needed.
People who says that they are not superficial are the most
superficial ones, because when they see someone who they think are
superficial, they cannot (and don't want to) see further than the
surface and they automatically think that they are the most stupid
form of human beings.
My two cents ;)

If that's the way windows looked in 1995 or 2005, that's fine.
I want things to look just fancy enough to be effective and
NO MORE.
+1 for this and all the other "Good Stuff"(tm) that you wrote.
I apologize for my bluntness here. I don't mean to tread on
anyone's toes. I'm 68 years old
I will see your 68 and raise you another 10. :-)
Cheers,
