re gui study in article apr mercury unt edu seth ponder csci unt edu seth buffington writes cutsie little macintrash like icons that are an instant recipe for mousitis imho system is undoubtedly the worst gui i have used out of that riscos mswombles and x simply because it does not provide enough keyboard shortcuts windows i must confess i quite like cover your ears because you can actually use it without having to ever touch the mouse stuff delete the user rather than making things easier and there should always be the option to do it your way if you want to which is why i like the unix x combination so much it s so customizable hear hear i agree completely one thing i can t stand about the mac interface is its shear determination to force you to use the mouse what if your mouse breaks your whole system is down i like the mouse it is handy on some occassions such as cut and past and moving icons around etc but for most work the keyboard and hot keys are times faster than using the mouse sure it is a plus to be able to do something simple if you are an inexperienced user but how long is it before your are experienced a month two speaking of pcs at the moment i don t think it is too much to ask that window programmers provide not only a menu mouse interface but also look forward to those who would like to move on to hot keys and command line interfaces which usually allows you to do more in less time if you are experienced all of the above equally applies to windowing systems on unix especially since unix is at least more powerful than dos and at least more user unfriendly as well
