I placed in him in the same camp as people who hate Vaxhalls because 
they're not Fords.  Anyone who is changing over from OS foo to OS bar
is going to find things to complain about, that what most people do.

I find any Window/Desktop/Mouse setup awkward to use because it doesn't
(and probably can't) have the flexibility of the CLI.  But then I started
out on CP/M before moving to VMS when I when to Uni.  Part of my Uni 
course was using Unix (BSD 4.2), but I didn't really get into Unix until
I started work when it was SunOS 3.x - a BSD derivative.

It always amazes me that most people are not prepared to spend a little
time learning how to use computer better so it will make their life 
easier.  But am I really that much better?  There are part of my life
where I do the same ol' sameo because I can't be bothered to change.
How many of us can say that we put the same about of effort into those
things that we find boring and dull as we do into those things that
interest us?
