Linus in the user friendliness side
In http://www.linuxresources.com there is a link to a Linus interview.
He criticizes the commercial Unixes manufacturers for abandonning the
desktop and the brain damages of the traditional Unix interface who
make difficult to learn it.
It is a bliss to read such words from him. There are people who
_want_ a diificult Unix not for its power but for the feeling of
superiority towards the unwashed masses. Some of them mailed me
disapproving the project. Now I can refer them to the words of a
_real_ hacker who does not need SH or VI to prove his
{hacker,man}hood.
