CDE had the advantage of being useful with a default config, at a time when most window managers required HUGE amounts of fiddling to get a nice environment.

    Yeah, the first time I saw CDE was doing AIX for PPC admin and I thought it was nice so went and got the student edition of Solaris for something like €7.50, lol

    IIRC at the time CDE for Linux was available for about €50, which was a lot of money back then!

    Unfortunately I had approximately zero apps for Solaris, so apart from playing with the OS I got no actual use out of it.
