And also MacOS too.

But unfortunately, you boys weren’t able to offer any alternatives to many use cases.  
For example, for managing digital music...which is hardly a niche this past decade...
your alternative to the likes of something like iTunes was to use the OS.

What’s odd is that chrisv actually believes that they’re making reasonable statements.

Actually, “Clippy” is a perfect example of this as a design objective.
Ditto for various incarnations of GUI’s superceding CLI’s, etc.

Granted, “more” should do this, but where’s the evidence of them actually 
delivering any of this for enabling varying levels of user proficiency?  Does 
Linux even have (other than blatant rip-offs of others) any well known UI
experimental failures such as Clippy?

Agreed!  The problem is that without apps, you sit & watch the screen saver.
