If these things make you happy, go for it. But in my mind an emulation frontend is just a different style of desktop. This means now the user has to interact with two desktops to manage and play their games. Except these frontends always end up depending on another frontend - RetroArch - which means now the user has to deal with three different desktops to manage and play their games.

I would rather just use my traditional desktop, and when necessary, RetroArch since that one probably isn't going anywhere anytime soon because it's too entrenched now. Honestly miss the days of individual emulators.
