Shell Replacement

Anyone have any opinions on the Shell replacements out and about?

I tried Aston but it was too limiting. Then I tried Litestep but it seems alot of sites are down. It's been hard to get started in it so I can make my own themes.

Are there any others?

The transparency guy: stop wanking to transparent bullshit, it'll waste your CPU while not adding any functionality. Concentrate on what you need to do.
