look like it’s frozen in time from the early 2000s in terms of sharpness/polish/slickness? That's a good thing.

I concur. And the unironically retro web site design made me as happy as anything I can recall this week.

Sounds like this version finally has FreeBSD ports set up. That's a huge improvement; I suspect a lot of people who like Trinity would like FreeBSD and vice versa.

KDE3 was the last Linux desktop environment I actually liked using, so I try to use this when it’s possible.

Their maintained fork of Amarok 1.x really makes it worthwhile for me.

Also, dcop is probably the best GUI automation tool I’ve used.

I think it's a matter of taste; they all kind of blur together after a while and offer roughly equivalent functionality. And if I were to pick any macOS look it'd probably be from 5-10 years ago in terms of layout and use of screen space....

I miss the macos input controls about a hundred times more than I miss the window manager.
