Yeah. And that's what I use every single day to do 'real work.' I found
it kinda wonky at first, but once you're used to it, it's really good.

And surely you've heard tech support horror stories of PC users who
don't know whether to left or right click, when to double or single
click, etc. Any tool requires a certain level of understanding to use,
and once you've learned how to use one tool well, the motivation to
learn another similar tool that does more or less the same job is less.

I'm not bent out of shape. I just don't like it when smart people say
dumb [IMO] things. If you're dealt unfounded slings and arrows all day,
why turn around and do it to others?

Uh, anyway. Off-topic. Back to work. :-)
