I do think that 3D Desktop looks pretty amazing -- but on reflection
don't know whether it would make me seasick over the long term, or
become one of those geegaws like your old Enlightenment desktop[1] that
you started only when company was visiting.

Even at that, be aware that they'll sometimes recommend equipment that
has some sucky chipsets -- e.g., Broadcom network chips on motherboards
-- that are tolerated because the vendor planned to completely ignore
them.
