Sure. I get that. I'm just saying it's only "suitable" (in terms of
getting into it easily) for totally new computer users. Anyone who is
already used to using any other kind of environment will have a steep
learning curve, and many will shy away as a result. There's a reason
GNOME and KDE were popular with Windows refugees.

Anyway. It's not the right list. I'll leave it at that.
