Goal




I notice that many argue that the system should be nice and easy for
new users. This is fine. But I think in the long run we gain more by
concentrating on making a system that is good for the advanced user.

Take this example:

One make a nice little GUI app so that one can add a new user to your
linux system. Now this is fine and easy to use. The problem arises
when a sys admin wants to add 200 new and remove 20 old. Sitting and
clicking to add 200 new users is a painstaking job at best. This could
probably be done in a much faster way.

So when discussing whistles and bells it is more important to think of
the long term effects, than to convert every M$ user on the planet...
