The problem is paradigm.

Our current 2D interface started with a paradigm, the window.  From that leads the rest of our interface (controls, desktops, icons).


But there isn't a paradigm for 3D yet.  We're not saying it's useless.  We're saying that you need a foundation for it first.

Objects.

Hell, we have Object-Orientated Programming...

I'm still biased towards minimalist 2D desktops.

Same here.

Unless I need the equivalent of several monitors (ie. multiple windows open for coding) I'm happy with a shell prompt.

I have yet to figure out exactly what the point of putting a bloated GUI on a server operating system is, which is why my dedicated systems (servers, PVR, etc) tend to be minimalist. The main box is still cursed with Windows but thats because Wine won't run all games. And Visual Studio is pretty damned good for an MS product.
