I have done on my own machines, however I spend 80% of my time working on clients machines.
Anyway my complaint is that it is a worthless piece of eye candy that is on by default.
That pretty much describes Windoze as a whole IMHO.
I guess you won't be approving of the general tendency for KDE and Gnome to ape the Windows GUI, then.
I am fine with that for two reasons. First because I am not against eye candy per se, just worthless eye candy, and secondly because linux is about choice which means you can use the command line of any number of X windows managers, some of which could be said to ape M$ Windoze and many which do not.
I think it's good; the command line is great when
you want to get complete control, but inexperienced users would rather eat rat pie than have to remember thousands of arcane and illogical commands.
I agree. I cannot stand Emacs.
