Yeah, it's sweet.  Most of the user experience seems to be better polished
than the similar stuff on the proprietary unices.   (let's face it, 1/2 of
the proprietary unices require several hours of downloading/installing GNU
software before they're usable!)

The only difficulty still outstanding for a typical C/C++ developer
migrating from other unices, is the lack of a memory-leak checker up to
the standard of Purify.  (Rational *still* haven't ported it).

And when things go wrong, you can Use the Source to figure out workarounds
etc....
