Home View appearance

Sorry,  but I couldn't resist :

The principal merit I see in the "free-form" Home View is that it 
makes the screen look more like what is familiar (reassuring) to a 
Windows user.

Last time I tried a relatively recent Joyride, the non-list Home 
View gave me a choice of whether I wanted to see "free-form" or 
"ring".  As long as upstream continues to give me that choice of 
optionally selecting "ring view", I don't care what else is decided.
