I agree with all you said about the graphical interface (I am a Macintosh fan).

What I really meant when I wrote easy to learn is "it is easier to 
access". Once you install it on your Unix you can access it from any 
terminal, or even from your home (with a dial up). This feature makes 
learning O.O.P. a lot easier.
