You do realize that in the time you've spent taking a friendly OS

[1] Don't deny it. Your intent to bait was obvious a few posts back,
but due to your good standing here I've been giving you a chance.
That came out overly-harsh and not how I intended. ("Yea, no shit,
Nick") Uhh, yea...
What I mean is just, in this section of the thread, it has been
sounding as if you're simply flame-baiting or arguing for the sake of
arguing.
(And then I somehow managed to awkwardly weave that into a completely
different and not-terribly-important point about "time it takes", bleh,
whatever...)
Just yesterday I've watched a cool talk from Rich Hickey (clojure
designer) about design and the time it takes to learn stuff.

Basically, one of his messages is that nothing comes for free and
learning requires effort.
He makes the remark that only in the software industry people seem to
have the "learn in xxx days" mentality and suff for dummies.
