It also occurs to me that while you are talking about older software, 
you are presenting typical luddite arguments.

Why do I need x, y, and z feature when Win3.0, KDE1, or whatever did 
whatever I need?

Once I got used to the "feature creep" stuff, I found it hard to go 
back. What do you mean alt-tab cycles through the window list instead of 
going back to my last focused window? What do you mean I can't drag and 
drop from my folder onto my desktop? What do you mean media doesn't 
mount automatically?
