Usability is another rapidly progressing area of wine.


What usability? I've been reading the mailing list for a few months now, and the only extent of 'usability' discussions for wine has been over whether or not experienced linux geeks will be confused by options in winecfg. That's not usability. That just means it's easy for hardcore users to figure things out without having to look for docs. The work being done in winecfg is both good and necessary, but it's still a long ways away from wine being 'usable' to non-geeks. When all of the binary packages (heck, any) on winehq.org have .Desktop files so that winecfg is at least accessible without the use of a terminal, and you can launch a wine application that asks the user what windows app they would like to run or make shortcut to so they don't have to use terminal there either, /then/ maybe there can be some usability discussion.

And then maybe it would be appropriate to remove winetools.
