I once used octopus. It uses inferno as the middle layer of graphics, which made the octopus somewhat complicated, I felt. I'm not against the inferno, however, octopus could make the graphics much easier and simpler. Therefore, using inferno made the purpose unclear I thought. That's the reason I left from the octopus.
