I guess it's no wonder that you're not an operating system designer or implementor, eh? I don't find that operating systems universally suck at all. Most seem to do a pretty decent job, actually, when it comes to doing what they're supposed to do: interact with the hardware to provide system boot up, support device interactions, handle requests for volatile memory and storage as needed, and partition CPU and other resources for shared use. While rarely perfect, any modern OS is generally pretty solid and reliable 99.999999% of the time. The presentation layers and apps that live on top of the OS services are far more fraught, but they're not the OS. That is the issue brought up by the OP for this thread. Whether you want your control interface to be lexical or graphical in nature is a debate that's been going on for forty-plus years. Little as I have to add to either side of that debate, it seems that the general opinion of the majority of users is fairly clear.
