However, this does pose some problems. The decentralised peer review process works fantastically to a point, but when a product needs something that is outside the requirements of the peers themselves - it becomes unlikely for it to happen. Because the developers are perfectly capable of using a command line interface, they're unlikely to claim a fault in an application being that it has no intuitive GUI that could be picked up and used by anyone.
This is the roile of the different distros. there are distros for command line lovers and one for GUI lovers. Distros like Mandrake and Lindows for example aim to do preciselt what you ask. The best thing about linux is that there is always a choice.
