1-Multitasking - computers are powerful. Your GUI should harness this power. 2-Speed - users quickly get frustrated by poor performance. 3-Stability - same as for speed. If a program does crash, handle it seamlessly. 4-Ability to launch other apps - wouldn't be much of a GUI without this :P 5-Ease of create you own apps - applies for both scripted apps and binaries built with an SDK. If users develop for your GUI, it could really take off. 6-Features (fluff/filler) - always good 7-Ability to customize 8-Eye Candy - not eye candy per se, but I like consistency in the appearance. 9-Selection of Apps Bundled - especially if you can't create your own. 10-Active Development - especially if you can't create your own apps. 11-Compatibility with hardware - depends. If you have internet capability, you should support all the popular interfaces. 12-Real world functionality - depends on the purpose of the particular GUI, but I don't think (m)any here are going for this? 13-Ability to add/remove apps 14-Its Website - nice but not essential. 15-Memory Requirements - a non-issue these days 16-QML Support		2009-08-061:00 PM

1-Multitasking - Running more than one executable is always a good thing. We live in a world that multitasks. 2-Ability to add/remove apps - Customization is key. 3-Ability to customize - See #2. 4-Stability - Good programming should do the job. 5-Speed - As long as it isn't slow (I don't care if it runs like a b**tard maniac). 6-Memory Requirements - Ties into things like "eye candy" and application design. If the apps are designed well and eye candy isn't a big feature, mem requirements are low. 7-Real world functionality - If I can use it for things besides just looking and reviewing, I give you props. 8-Compatibility with hardware - Better work with my NIC cards. 9-Ability to launch other apps - Define "other" (e.g. Windows or DOS executables?) 10-Ease of create your own apps - Because who doesn't want to write code?! 11-Selection of Apps Bundled - I don't need much (just the basics - can download or write others). 12-Active Development - We still use QB and that was last active in development when? 13-Its Website - Not a big deal (all GNU sites are overly simple so I'm used to it). 14-Features (fluff/filler) - Let it have windows, buttons, cursor, etc. 15-Eye Candy - Not really important to me. Too much eye candy is an eye sore. 15-QML Support - Don't really use QML much...		2009-08-061:39 PM
