I think the only obvious deficiency is the missing frame key. Without
it Sugar is much less usable.
A second issue is that the UI is designed towards a relatively small
physical display size. Using the same proportions (say, frame-width-to-
screen-size ratio) makes it appear bulky on a big
I think we'd need to know the specific points of contention. I can't imagine
which design decisions might work less well on PCs. Sugar remains
significantly easier to use than standard PC operating systems...

I agree. If you read about the founders they are parents without super

Maybe it is time to pursue the card stack idea... I had circulated a
