Personally I think that KDE is far better than Windows. Of course I also
think LaTeX is the best way to prepare documents, and ability of "plan" to
let me hand-edit the PostScript configuration file is quite handy, so I
suppose I might not represent Joe Average User.
(I dropped Linux in favor of FreeBSD becuase it was getting too user friendly
. . . meaning it was too hard to find the configuration files to edit.)
