Amiga mention in LinuxToday editorial

Awesome !! It captures my feelings about Linux and Amiga.
Even considering the comments are a little bit old

I´ve tried Ubuntu for some time, then I switched back to Kurumin, because it crashed a lot in my machine. I can´t say it was an experience I would recommend to my grandma.

I think Linux is too much tied to the command line, and this is something I believe should be left on the past. Looking from this side, Windows is more friendly.

The last Mac I had used OS9, so I can´t say anything about OSX at all. Except that it looks nice ;-)

But anyway, I still think Workbench was the best in my opinion. Of course, we all know about the technology gap caused by not developing anything new all those years. This still doesn´t change my mind.

So I agree with them, let Linux looks like WB. This is something my grandma would use  :-D

There are things that can't be done in Windows unless you hit the prompt.

I've also spent a lot of my Amiga time in the Shell with scripts and ARexx, and couldn't imagine having a system without it

Yes I know. But they are not things one could not design a GUI for it easily. So there are few excuses for not having it, like lack of good tools for windowed apps, need to write small apps to run in tight memory spaces, lack of developing time, and lazy programming. Only the last two seems to be the real cause of the problem now.

The same thing happens for scripting. It is better to use any text or code editor than ed or similar software. And it can easily be associated to execute an interpreter by clicking the script file

One thing that I liked in my old Mac was that there was no command line. And no need for it. They proved it was possible.

It does not make sense to do so much eye candy in today´s GUIs if you need to go to the old command line very often.
Leave the command line and complicated commands in the past with 8 bit machines. Spend your brain in your apps instead. :-D
