To me, a "suck less" philosophy means that my environment should:
* Mount flash drives automatically when I plug them in.
* Let users configure the wireless network connection, and set it to automatically reconnect with the same settings to different APs on the same network, and let users override certificate settings for the same, and remember the overridden settings.
* Let users configure printer settings.
Sure, dwm is great if you spend all of your time in xterm and emacs/vim. But I spend at least 0.02% of my time doing the above tasks, and I don't want to inflate that number.
Some people believe that the fewer lines of code they write, the more elegant their software becomes. Bull. Just like writing more lines doesn't make your code better, writing fewer lines doesn't make it better.
