Indeed; I think it's to do with mindset.  Windows users are brain-washed
into believing that they need an "application program" to do any task.
Whereas those exposed to Unix realize that many tasks can be done by
stringing together the actions of a number of small tools.

The command-line side of things is, sadly, nowadays forgotten by a large
majority of computer users.  Click'n'drool is the way to go.

(And no, before anyone criticises my remarks as being those of a Unix
"fanatic", I don't use it: I use OS/2, and have for many years used Unix
tools ported to that environment.  Last time I really used Unix would
have been ca.1982, using V7 on a PDP-11/60:-)
