That looks pretty nice. I like everything except the fact that when you drag windows, they "bend".

That looks very promising. I kinda like the bend thing.

would this possibly be used in linux in the future?
that would be pretty cool...if it was still pretty functional (as it seems), i'd consider switching to it
