Reading documentation is painful, and shouldn't be necessary (beyond
very general documentation) for basic configuration tasks (like 
clear crisp fonts [1], device permissions and aliases, etc.). Reading 
documentation should only be necessary for more advanced non-luser
configuration. In Linux these days, the non-documentation reading 
alternative is provided only through WIMPshit, if at all.

Ion also isn't perfect in that respect, and I think going for
full scripting support may have been a mistake in the end (but
then again, maybe Ion wouldn't have a lot of the small nice features
it has these days, without it), but I've tried to make the basic 
options rather tolerable (just copy over cfg_ion.lua). See also [2].

I want to be a mere (l)user wrt. software i don't particularly 
care about! But I don't want to use WIMPshit; in that case I could
just as well use Windows.

The DOS era was the pinnacle of computing.
