But I wonder if that is even necessary? Not everyone
knows how to fly a plane either, but those who do sure
get around fast, and go to places unavailable to cars.
Yet no one is terribly concerned with getting planes
so easy to fly that anyone can fly one.
If Linux is a "professional" level computer system,
letting the more accomplished user work at a higher
level, then so be it. Design it for them, just like
my scientific calculator (which does the average check
book balancer little or no good).
