I don't particularly disagree but then people will want the rest of the shell behaviour and shell extensions including the support of the various namespaces. That's a large and probably fruitless area to get into. I use Beonex for all regular browsing and the regular shell for what it does. There are a couple of advantages to adding shell support, one of them would be managing Control Panel and Mozilla properties, but I don't seriously see anyone doing it. That said using the system icons for file types could at least be managed rather than the rather ghostly and amateurish file icons used now.
