Of course not. But if we're going to implement the "World Domination" plan now
(or in the furuture), we've to keep in mind what the non-geeky sort expects.
I personally have had a diffucult time explaining how easy it is to switch to
GNOME (or KDE) or how far easier it is to use (than Windoze).
They *still* think *nix (esp. Linux) GUIs are designed for geeks.
And moreover, /I/ personally want all those non-geeky (read: technically
inadept) types in the GNU/Linux world. They spoil all teh fun we have.
Stupidity is not a substitute for incompetence...
