Speaking as a newcomer to BSD, it's hard to say we are forward looking and have decent multimedia ability when we can't easily get 'ls' to show color. Maybe multimedia, color, sound, etc aren't important to 'old school' computer people, but let's face it: computing isn't what it used to be. Old school OS's never imagined video playback, point-and-click, speech synthesis, 3D game cards, and real-time online gaming. But they are here. They also never thought they would see spreadsheets, wysiwig word processors, desktop publishing, and other 'productive' endeavors become widespread and accessible to the average joe. It's time to sell out. Colorls isn't THAT big of a deal if it makes people happy. Adding it will make more people happy than leaving it out will.
