#2One cool feature that I didn’t see described very well here is Cosmic allows you to group windows in tabs, but the tabs can be different applications. Kind of an interesting idea that the OS/window manager is what should be responsible for tab support, not each application.

#3It sounds like the differentiator here is that it's modular for the purposes of creating unique branded experiences.
Is this in effect to position it as an Android alternative for applications in things like cars, etc?

Stacking is fantastic feature but it's not unique to Cosmic as the current DE for Pop_OS already has this feature.
Also available on Windows with FancyWM, which has been growing on me.

Most car guis are QT based so I guess not.

Eh things are pretty good these days with gnome and kde, I don't think there would be much to gain with further consolidation of effort.

for what it's worth, I've when gnome moved from version 2, I was completely lost. I went to xfce for a while then settled on kde for a long time but when I reformatted a machine to have to the side of my work laptop, I used pop_os just to test it out. It is on par with ubuntu as being a complete cohesive operating system. I'm excited to see where they take it and without knowing much about them, I'm a supporter.
