I've had some, not a lot.  The key words here, folks, are "foisted" and
"non-programming".   Unix was developed by serious professional programmers
FOR serious professional programmers.  I have watched a many non-computer
people get their first exposure to computers by trying to learn unix shell
and vi simultaneously, and winding up hating computers.  Unix is NOT a good

is being bent that way.

Every place I work some clown sticks a clapped out VT100 clone on my desk
and says I get to use Unix.  Oh boy.  Frankly, while MSDOS lacks many things,
I'd rather use Wordstar than vi, any day.
