Is there really a huge learning curve for .bashrc and xinit? .bashrc is mostly a way to make an alias list.

What I fear about snappy and other modularized systems is unnecessary complexity. I fear that simple commands such as tar -t are going to be replaced with a multiplicity of commands which may actually be more confusing in the terminal. This complexity will take from terminal users and give to gui users.

I use linux because I _really don't_ want a Mac. I'm a bit frightened by Canonical's desire to force the terminal into obsolescence. Then again, if we linux users want desktop linux, it will have to be more gui friendly.

- there is no user init system, unless you run stuff through e.g. .bashrc or some xinit script or whatever. That is extremely arcane and impossible for a regular user to do.
