It's their hassle-free nature that I find so attractive. Lift lid; start work (or play).

Personal style can be simple or intricate. Which style is perceived to be more modern than the other depends on the era that happens to be receding into twilight.
I favor intricacy in artistic style and software interfaces, but not panoplies of locks in the way of spontaneous ideas. I do like the idea of opening the lid and playing (which conjures memories of decades in front of a baby grand piano).

The person who mentioned the likelihood of Chrome's offline dormancy -- lurking and mutating like a critter in Lovecraft's "From Beyond" until wifi's enabled and
one is seen -- expressed my crypto-arthro-pomorphic consternation. It's not as if I can stay offline forever and, once I connect, I expect the info harvesting to begin.
Not to be at all paranoid schizophrenic about privacy and eerily friendly environments!
