I disagree again. We cannot seriously compare the use of a Help page
written in SGML to the manual pages. For one thing, in order to even
check the manual pages you already have to know about the existence of the
"man" command and even the name of the command whose manual page you want
to read.
Again, I'm a big supporter of Linux and open source in general. I am
_convinced_ that Linux will sooner or later win the desktop market
too. However, I cannot in good faith deny that Windows is more
user-friendly right now. The price to pay? Less power, of course. Not
only that, but you're limited to whichever options the desginer of the GUI
decided to add to his/her tool.
