I didn't see real discussion around MS Win or Mac OS users here... What I saw here, it was - give me GNU userland now, now, now...

Or just guide how to use RBAC is missing? sudo can have some significant benefits in functionality/interface, from which we should learn. I don't know, I never used sudo in my 10 years with Linux. But I'm using RBAC, much better for me as desktop user. And yes, this discussion is strange, it is about simple small tools, not about real OS and its ways.
