A while ago I was complaining on #utah about how the way we use computers typically is flaw. I mentioned how MS and others are trying to abstract away the complexity of the underlying system, while still forcing you to deal with that complexity (ie when things break you have to go through the registry or the file system).
This slashdot comment has some interesting comments on this very subject and makes the interesting point that abstraction is often a bad thing. Instead we should make the underlying system simpler, more robust, and less breakable: http://slashdot.org/comments.pl?sid=115172&cid=9756869 What do you all think?
