macOS is my daily driver, but I am a self hosting hobbyist (a bad one) and the moment you become involved with the command line of a multi user operating system, you need a level of skill, curiosity and patience that 99% of people don’t have and don’t want.

there was such a sense theatre , and i maintain that any technology that takes a few seconds to work, and whose progress can be observed, will always be a superior experience to ’ click click done’
