By "smoothing out the workflow", I did not mean to imply obscuring
complexity or eliminating functionality. This is the great mistake many
Linux distros making right now. They are mistaking confusing simplification
with usability. All simplification does is obscure complexity. It does not
eliminate it.
Improving workflow isn't about making stuff simple, it's about making stuff
more efficient.
