IMHO, 1 out of 4 people complaining about an interface isn't bad at
all. I can guarantee you that there are at least 25% of Windows Vista
users that complain about its user interface, and I can only begin to
guess how many millions of dollars Microsoft has spent on interface
design.

Sounds about right. It's the "try to push google without looking like
you are trying to push google" tactic.

As others have pointed out, the question is how much you are willing
to accept in order to relinquish control of the system.
