I would seriously question the intelligence of someone who finds "bling" necessary. I put bling in the same category as those spinning wheel covers and other useless trinkets. Perhaps those people would be happier with a lava lamp.
Do you have pictures on you walls. Do wear clothes, which aren't gray? For sure *I* do not need this what you call bling for myself. For most things I do with my machine I even do not need a Desktop at all. But I need it for convincing others, that Linux is not behind Windows or MacOS even in such silly features like bling. If you want more development for Linux, you need more users. And bling will get some of them. BTW: This bling is optional. Nobody forces you to use it for more than a few minutes and older hardware it deactivates itself. And the option to use another desktop, including KDE3 is there, too. Where is the problem here?
