That's great for those of us lucky enough to be comfortable figuring
things out for ourselves. I assure you we are the minority.
I'm not talking about tools, I'm talking about applications... things that
neophytes should reasonably expect to grok without straining their tiny
little brains too much. ;)
While I also do not think or work the way Microsoft thinks I should, I
most certainly do not think/work the way the Gnome foundation does, KDE,
Raster (of E fame), etc. etc.
Microsoft apps may be broken, but they're mostly all broken the same way.
I would be very surprised to find a person who does NOT feel Linux needs a
consistant desktop, and having one certainly does not mean giving up the
configurability we all enjoy.
