Screenshots from developers: 2002 vs. 2015 (2015)

RMS could have taken a photo of his screen, or done something cheeky like dump his screen to a padded ASCII text file and submitted that. Stick in the mud.

Finally someone using a tiling window manager! I don't know how the stacking folk survive, look at the insane amount of windows just floating around.

Seems 2002 is just a tad too late for some real diversity - I was expecting a lot more different OSes. Irix, SunOS, HPUX, etc. I would love to see a collection like this all the way back to the 70ies.

With the exception of one or two, everybody was running terminals across multiple windows and not tabs. I spend considerable time on terminals on my Macs, but am a big fan of having a single terminal window with many tabs. I am curious whether people generally really prefer multi-window terminals and find it to have an advantage over the tabular alternative.
