[16:43] <camako> sturmflut, @mir-on-x, It's for the convenience of shell/framework/mir developers  - no need to be root, no need to switch between VTs, no risk of locking up your machine when things go wrong. Mir runs in a window within your dev environment next to other windows that you might find convenient having open during development.
