Fisrt, I like your suggestion that we should consider "leapfrogging"
current GUI technology. CPU's and graphics have moved on incredibly.
But all we have seen in GUI's is drag & drop and animated cursors...

On a possibly related note, what do you make of MagniFind at
http://www.inxight.com ? It calls itself a "hyperbolic tree viewer".

Yes, I *know* it's Windoze, but I found it absolutely fascinating.
It needs a decent machine, mind.
