I can't speak for the designers, but I think it works just great for both uses. I have one machine running as an internet gateway/print server/database server/whatever else I think of server and one as a desktop for email/net surfing/writing/et cetera. A great strength of the system -- in my opinion -- is the flexibility available. You can configure it to suit your needs. So why exclude entire domains of use? The original poster appears to be a troll anyway, so I'm not getting upset. The core team and committers know what they're doing.
