Being lazy by nature, I like when things come all pre-configured. Also,
I do think that people having given a lot of thought on something have
a good chance to come up with something better that what I would do,
in a hurry, one of these mornings.
We saw that many people do not like the current scheme, yet Lars had a
purpose and intent when he did it. Maybe it's just that the virtues are
not immediately evident nor recognised, and that people are inherently
reluctant to see changes as improvements (unless made by Microsoft :-).
