To add the opinion of a third Andrew:

I couldn't possibly move to a system where I have to use
the keyboard to copy and paste between windows :-)

(Thank goodness Wayland was persuaded to keep that feature.)

Hi,

 I wholeheartedly support such a move.  These long threads have no
basis in reality.  Frankly they have as much purpose as counting the
number of angels on the head of a pin.  Quite some time ago, as a
scientist I stopped at SL 6.9.  If need be I have all of my code
development tools, and am quite happy.

For my daily needs, I continue to use Windows.  Yes, I use Firefox as my
browser and Thunderbird for my mail.  A long time ago I installed the
GNU tools for Windows and that helps a great deal.  My editor is still
Vi, or VIM for the more modern versions.  Some of my colleagues use
Emacs and that also works very well under Windows.  A command line
window is my main interface for all of my work.  Am not willing to swing
at windmills and need to get on with life.

regards,
Andrew
