I don't want to fscking learn how to read my fscking mail ! I expect it to be 
'next', 'next', 'finish' , 'read mail'. I'm willing to put the extra effort 
and type in my user name, password, e-mail address and mail server - that's 
it . no reading textual manual pages, no tinkering around inside confusing 
configuration files. granted - you can do more with mutt then with outlook 
express, but while the mutt user figures out how to operate his 1337 
software, the outlook express user gets more work done. while there are cases 
where your observation is correct, specificly highly specific professional 
programs such as development tools,  most users don't want to operate their 
everyday software and they certainly don't want to learn it. and you know 
what - they are right.
