copernicus i agree for what regards ui and masses, but not for consistency.
if you have a ui without any direction or any recalls to anything, you will get a lot of fragmentation. if you dont choose anything, cause you want it all,you will have a bunch of flies in your hand and nothing more. of course its better have a way to personalize, but not to destroy all the directiob that characterize that os. for example, if i think a system with pulley menu,swipe, but also button everywhere like android ...i wouldnt like it. for me is like wearing an elegant jacket with sportive short pants, and maybe with white socket with sandals (please let then to guys from Germany/just joking)
