The same could be said of good ol' Windows. If you're going to be a
hater, be an equal opportunity hater. :-) I guess Windows are so easy
because the registry will corrupt itself randomly or because the
solution to every problem is to reboot, but there are cute little
buttons to click on, so that makes it all good and worthwhile.

For Windows to be useful to the people who love them and have to have
them, they are going to have to a LOT easier to use. Just my two cents.
