GUI Interfaces For Linux Apps

The Luxury of Ignorance: An Open-Source Horror Story
Eric Raymond talks about his problems trying to share a printer on his home network using the CUPS GUI interface. I have encounterd similar problems configuring Samba and adding a CDRW. The developers should try to make their GUI interfaces work more like the Mac’s.
