For an end-user, that should be fine (and yes, he can use joe, jove, gedit, or whatever). But I wouldn't appoint a Linux sysadmin who has no clue about vi! > I see rarely people saying wizards "complicated". Microsoft Word is > too complicated for it's wizards, right ?? Setting up email clients > like outlook express and evolution using wizards is complicated. > What's simple ? configuring mutt ?? mutt configuration can be automated. It can be easily maintained. Can you configure Outlook express without running the Outlook express program ? What if you had to configure Outlook express on 500 machines ? I'm sure you will be busy searching for some tool to automate the process, while I would have mutt setup already ;-). Same goes with Microsoft Word - the wizards only complicate things, not simplify! I'm not against wizards and stuff... just that they are too newbie-friendly, and not flexible enough for a seasoned sysadmin's needs. A Linux sysadmin who finds comfort in wizards is mostly clueless about whats going on underneath these shiny interfaces. Lately, I have come across a lot of Linux "sysadmins" who have no clue about how to disable a service without using redhat-config-* or chkconfig (just in case, they had to boot from a knoppix live CD-ROM to rescue their broken redhat setup).
