well no: they must be written, but they are much easier than writing a browser,
even one as annoying as firefox.
when googling and fetching papers or software (my usual
use of the web), i typically get by with charon and hget. for fancy stuff
i more often than not now manage with firefox, but i still find a few things that
demand windows. in either case, it's either displacement activity
(ie, time wasting) or costly (buying on the internet).
having to reboot to get these things has the advantage
that, like undertaking a long journey, i ask myself ``is my journey really necessary?''.
no, more often than not, so i get back to writing software.
