#2Design language looks very similar to Windows 11? Not sure if it was intentional since it must have been in development for a while. Anyways, it’s a very elegant looking environment.

I'll agree—it's elegant. The animations are a bit "Flutter-y" and I'm not a fan of Flutter animations in general, but it does look quite nice: https://web.dahliaos.io/.

Performance still bad for me.

#5This takes too many design cues from so-called "modern" web and mobile apps. What's with the lack of scrollbars in all the windows/dialogs? I can't tell that content has been truncated when a dialog opens up with the overflow ending on whitespace between two elements. There's also no fade or shadows, so everything is just suddenly cropped where a window ends. It's not even clear which elements have their own viewports and which are scrolled together (so I missed extra elements in the settings toolbar/toolbox on the left). All the windows open up very small (too small to fit their content) even though there's room for bigger.
(All tested on the online demo here: https://web.dahliaos.io/#/ )

Feels like Android to me.

I thought it looked more like a random mashup of iOS, Android, and Chrome OS.

Well they did get at least one thing right: actual discreet window title bars with usable controls.
