To each his own. I personally find the Windows UI extremely cumbersome
and painful to use, but obviously I'm in the minority since everyone
around me (including my wife) finds *my* preferred UI basically
unusable. :-P

(I don't use gnome/kde/any of that jazz, I run a bare minimum X server
with ratpoison as my "WM". It's really not much of a window manager at
all, just a glorified version of GNU screen. :-P  And I like it that
way. I have almost completely weaned myself off any rodent dependency,
the sole major exception being the browser, but these days I've been
wrangling with Vimperator, which is a rodent-free layer on top of
Firefox, so I will soon be rid of the rodent completely. I'm a happy
man. :-P)
