Compared to alternative GUIs that of WinXX is not what I would call good.
One thing that annoys me every time I'm forced to use Win3.x is that I have to
click on the menu items just like on buttons to get a menu. Why can't I use the
right mouse button to get a popup menu like on X11, NextStep, Intuition and
System 7.x?

Second, the so called DOS-Box is far away from being as comfortable as a Unix- or
AmigaDOS shell.

Third, the wonderful animations of Win95 are not to be switched off.
