This is my reaction to Tsu Dho Nimh's "Migrating to Linux not easy for Windows users" featured on Linuxworld.com recently. It's not a response, I'm not challenging his opinions, which I feel are not only valid, but mostly right, it's just a reaction.

I'm sick of hearing comments about Regedit. It's a doddle to use. Why do you even need to touch the registry anyway and why are Linux's text files easier? If you don't know what you are doing you shouldn't touch either. If you have a problem you first research that problem, only then do you follow the instructions to make the appropriate changes to the registry. The registry is not for messing around in - it is a fallback. I'm sure that if you sit someone who has never used regedit and tell them what key to change they can have a pretty good stab at it. Give that same user VI and tell them which file to edit and they'll be stuck just trying to figure out how to use the text editor.
