- zer00eyz 11y agoIf I follow the logic this article is putting out, then shouldn't we all be using windows cause it has a pretty UI vs linux with a command line?
- kumarharsh 11y agoGood point, and you have chosen a perfect example to define the logic. To apply that logic to OSes, well, look around you. Do you see linux on every laptop? Now, I'm not saying Windows is the best or anything. I'm just saying that without solving much of the "approachability" problem, you can't expect people to just take up arcane technologies. On the other hand, if by "we all", you mean programmers/HN-readers, I assume you might not be the "average" public.
- zer00eyz 11y agoThats exactly what I meant when I said "we all". Thank you for the clarification. I'll just be over here nursing my hangover.
- kumarharsh 11y agoI understand that. I myself do it quite often for even trivial things, and then realize later that, well..., more than 60% of my country is rural, and I am here talking why Surface Book is better than Macbook or some such consumerist triviality -_-
