XEmacs. ;-)

More seriously, better ideas, more individualism, less funding.
Remember B1FF may be a troll, but biff(1) (the original program for
keeping track of your marbles so you don't have to) goes back probably
30 years.

What that means is that you have to figure out what you want, and find
it for yourself.  Partly that's due to inability to agree on defaults
(except to copy CUA or Aqua, barf, retch, "find /usr -name '*gnome*' |
xargs rm -rf"); partly due to lack of marketing.  But it's all out
there.  You can put your pagers and calendars and mixers and system
monitors in the panel or slot or whatever your wm-du-jour calls it, or
have them bound to popup menus, etc.
