No, it isn't. Since early 1996 I worked for a company that wrote
mission-critical applications with Linux as a major development
platform. Linux had excellent GUI's (in plural) based on X then.
Much better than Microsoft's, IMHO.
I think Linux even had WYSIWYG office suits by 1997 (was Applixware
out?).
I first saw Linux in action in 1994, I believe. IIRC, it had GUI even
then.
