Where does the, "oh that's so hard," come in?

But seriously just flame away and continue being an Ass.
Actually, the only flame in there was the "take your head out your ..." comment -- which was well qualified considering your post.

Now, you said yourself exactly what I said: there's no difference in clicking an icon in Linux, Mac, or Windows. Excellent. I never said otherwise (hell, I said the reason the artists think its easy is because that's all they're doing -- clicking icons).

Why don't you reread what I said? Maintanence and error recovery fit into (consumer) ease of use and that's the only thing I said Linux needs work on. The KDE guys are doing an awesome job with the GUI aspect and as package managers mature, the ease of use will increase. However, it's not there yet.
