He was talking about enhancements to the emulated virtual machine, not the host environment. Changes to the virtual machine are a bad thing. They would make SimCoupe unrealistic, and emulating something which never existed. Changes to the external GUI can be a good thing, if they make SimCoupe easier to use. The loading system - provided you stick to using disk images, rather than a magic file store - is something *external* to the virtual Sam. Feel free to change it, but also note that you already can double-click on a disk image, which loads SimCoupe, and press F9, just like on a real Sam. Where exactly does your "click - click - click - tap tap tap tap tap - click" come in? Exaggerating doesn't exactly help your argument...
