Their ideas about interface design are quite good, and the use of corners is simply genius (having a trackball myself, it's the kind of interface that is just too easy to use :) ). It looks a bit like the interfaces on touch-type screen systems that I have seen and used, and they strike me as quite easy to acquire, even for people very removed from technological fields.

This is a project to look at further. I hope all their code is under the GPL so that the good ideas can cross-polinize the community and be quickly adopted elsewhere. The corners especially are great (I must say my own desktop is organised in such a way, I packed together on all four corners the icons I use most, grouping them by themes, so you can imagine why I'm so lyric over this interface idea). If their package manager idea succeeds, it will also be a great step.

Now why use one of the most unfriendly languages to program their friendly interface...
