By "smoothing out the workflow", I did not mean to imply obscuring complexity or eliminating functionality. This is the great mistake many Linux distros making right now. They are mistaking confusing simplification with usability. All simplification does is obscure complexity. It does not eliminate it. Improving workflow isn't about making stuff simple, it's about making stuff more efficient.
