I just read this, and it is fundamentally at odds with most of what I
like about Linux.  If most of what he advocates (only one window
manager, no CLI, etc.) were to come about, I'd be gone in a flash.  He's
basically saying that the only way of doing things is the Windows/MacOS
way of forcing everything into a Procrustean bed and only giving the
users what the "user-centered individuals" think they should have.  How
fascist.
