Exactly this is one of the reasons why people move to other
braindamaged OS like hell (seen on the whole).

We have to provide simple tools as well as the traditional
ones to make an OS attractive.

Don't take me too serious ;-) But this is in my opineon one of

Better user interfaces and less expensive application would have
been a big plus for Unix operating systems ...
