So far both gnome and kde are missing effective solution for mobile ui.
Sure. Smoku's primary development work for the UI has been done on top of either fedora or opensuse (not sure which.)

And yes they are missing solutions for the mobile UI.

I like to think of myself as technologically adept, but I do like a UI that behaves responsively and with nice effects.

for people who want to get work done (most of us here), what actually matters is the applications that matter. i.e. functional browser, fully capable office software, productivity tools, a robust core, strong media consumption softwares, etc....
Sure. But all work and no play...

the reason why debian, or any other distribution is a no-go for 90% of users, is because the openoffice or libreoffice cannot even handle a fully featured .docx properly......
Of course they can't. Only Microsoft can fully implement .docx, something which was done deliberately by MS during their ramming it through ISO.
