WHAT DO YOU MEAN IM SHOUTHING???!!1! No, lots of people like to

Interface fascism has been part of Apple since the early days. I

Almost all of them are there, but they're *BSD instead of GNU, so
they have fewer options and in some cases different options. This
is a bit annoying.

Aye. I sort of have to have one at ork (testing stuff, 2 proprietary
apps corporate requires because they've drunk the Flavor-Ade) so I've
had to learn to use it. Fortunately, I have a large number of Linux
boxes to work on as well.
