An Elementary Elegance !

I am a big fan of complete congruence so that everything fits together into a bigger picture and to be truthful that has been the key to the success that Apple has been riding; linux Desktop environments had not always been on the same train given the availability of different toolkits, design approach and many other variables which gives us users many different choices and also in-congruence.

But the solution maybe elementary, as shown by the latest release (which has been quite some time ago as we wait for Isis) of elementaryOS Luna.
