Re: I never understand...

Look, I can't put my finger on it, but this whole Debian/Gnome/GNU experience is creepy. I love geekdom - you know that! - but this "experience" just makes me shudder. It's worse than Microsoft, because at least they employ people.

No, it's almost a conscious effort to *not* compete with vendor UNIX and Microsoft. It's a retreat into fantasy land.
