Microsoft deserves a majority market share. Despite its legion of
warts, Microsoft Windows is the only operating system whose
implementation approches understanding of the concept of the gui/command
line dichotomy.
THE GUI/COMMAND LINE DICHOTOMY:
All command and control of the operating system should be available through gui
widgets. SIMULTANEOUSLY, all command and control of the operating system
should be available through terminal commands.
Windows has high system status courtesy of the registry. Windows has
guis to control almost all its sub-systems. Most Windows guis work
intuitively as expected. Windows has terminal commands for most
controls.
The current state of Ubuntu is not even close. Some Ubuntu guis defeat
the command line. Some Ubuntu gui widgets that fail to control the
operating system. Many Ubuntu sub-systems can only be controlled by
commands. Worse: Ubuntu's reliance on disoranized and poorly documented
text files for configuration settings severely degrades its system
status.
Bug no. 1 will only be fixable through Ubuntu when Ubuntu offers a
SYSTEM that is in the same league as Windows.
