oh no, I don't 'dispise' end users at all. some are smart, some are
stupid. Doesn't make them despicable!

I just don't want to make a system which is going to be as hard as linux
currently is, cause the amount of handholding required is incredibly high. 

I think most of us are programmers, and so we naturally have a very
advanced view of how computers work on the inside. I want to emphasize
that for the majority of the people on earth, the computer is a machine to
help with word-processing and emailing, and good for games.
