You guys are in a serious minority that Project Indiana is not being made for.  
:)  And I believe the root post is addressing Project Indiana.

Most people don't care about what you care about.  The computer system is a 
means to a goal.  Literally and exactly like a toaster or microwave.  And their 
system need not step on your system's toes, because there can be an unlimited 
number of OpenSolaris distros.

You can have one distro that has no GUI for you guys, and another that is easy 
to use for other people.  Project Indiana is the latter.  You shouldn't need to 
feel and reply defensively to Indiana-related stuff IMHO.  You should be 
focusing on whatever project that has goals that you support.  If you want 
Solaris 11 to be a certain way, maybe post on the Solaris forum?

The "easy to use versus hard to use" or "CLI versus GUI" or "mainstream user 
versus minority hacker" or "10% vs 40%" posts shouldn't need to happen anymore 
IMHO.  Pick a project that fits you and leave alone the projects that don't fit 
you.
