Many writers have written about how lousy the IBM interface is.  I
happened to read an article in PC-Week which said that the average IBM
PClone user knew 1.3 applications (probably lotus) wheras the average
Mac user knew 4-6 (I'm sorry, I don't have a reference, nor do I feel
like finding one).  I guess that is why we are getting SAA and the
`presentation manager'

What does this have to do with GNU anyway...

By the way - the user interface on UNIX is the pits too.  Consistency is
the key word!
