My point is that there are certain areas where common infrastructure is
necessary to make the free desktop "just work". The VFS is perhaps the
most important candidate - but also the hardest part. Other problems can
be - and already have been solved - with common fd.o standards.

For the rest it's cool to have some kind of competition.

Why? There are lots of different widget sets on other quite "successful"
desktop operating systems and nobody would ever complain.
