Re: [9fans] interesting potential targets for plan 9 and/or inferno

I'm really with Minnich on this one. The GUI is what *everyone*
complains about and it's always the *first* thing they complain
about. I deal with pretty intelligent people in the security
community and they can't handle Rio and don't want to.

It isn't out of ignorance or the residue of sub-intellectualism,
it's just the simple fact that mobility is the last thing people
want to relearn.

Think about it, would you rather learn how your new ten-speed
mountain bike works or would you rather relearn how to ride a
bike?

I love Rio and find it a great environment to work in, but I'm a
pretty odd cat and I tend to think in very odd ways (not necessarily
good ways). Most people want to ALT+TAB-and-friends their way into
learning a system. That's not necessarily a bad thing.

Once you can navigate around the resources you want to learn, you
can start to learn. How can you get under the hood if you can't
figure out how to pop it up?
