One of the most commonly cited "cons" against *nix OSes is that the average idiot cant figure it out. Of course, personally I feel this is one of the MAJOR STRONG POINTS of *nix systems. :-)

Make something even an idiot can use, and only an idiot would want to... (not to imply that all who do ARE idiots, some are forced by circumstancs)
