Unfortunate, since Convergence is based on the research done in the Perspectives project. Moxie deserves credit for sure, but he seems to be getting (almost) all of it. An Ubuntu-and-Debian-esque situation, if you will. Why is neither used by the masses? Because nobody changes their settings: https://www.imperialviolet.org/2011/09/07/convergence.html That's going to be a hard problem to solve.
