Maybe I don't need drag'n'drop .. and maybe I don't need Gnome/KDE .. or maybe I choose other window manager. Or maybe I have money and buy CDE .. or maybe I don't like X and go to the console. The fact is that I DO HAVE A CHOICE ! I can do whatever I want - I have plenty of possibilities, depends on my taste and my needs. > Everyone keeps saying that things are easier to do in > linux/bsd over windows and then they go on to say that > they dont like windows because all that you do is > point and click - isnt that easier. Unix it's easier not just because you can point-click-and-crash. It's easier because it's clean and well designed. It's easier because you have choices. And, as a "developer" speaking, do you find windows well-designed ? I don't .. I found it a big mess. But hey .. everyone has his one tastes .. Stefan PS: Talking about the "user friendless" .. Why everybody expect that a free thing has the same look/feel/functionality(?!) with a paid one ? But hey ... at least it not crash .. :) To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-chat" in the body of the message
