Here's an original idea: make your OWN programs!

Well, we aren't gaining anything when more people use our programs.
Personally, i don't give a fuck who plays my games, and I'm sure some
other programmers have similar feelings.

If you would like to make your own shell, then good luck! But asking
other people to do it isn't going to get much done, especially when
Usgard is such a good shell.
