"One example: Ask your secretary how often she visits
/etc, /dev, /boot, /lib, /sbin /usr, /proc. Cbanses are that he/she never goes there."
So?
Does she visit c:windowssystem32 that much?
I don't think so.
What's your point?
The following quote is your point?
Quote:
"So why not hide these directories to ordinary non sysadmin users. Every time you suggest something like this, even on the usability lists, you get lots and lots of protests, saying that thes place ABSOLUTELY must be visible at all times to everybody."
They ARE, yes ARE hidden !!!
You do not see /boot or /usr at any time in KDE, unless you specifically choose to see them. KDE starts in your home folder, you know /home/your_account
I fail to see your point here.

"Whenever some dependency problem occurs, whatever needed should automagically be downloaded from the net if possible."
Did you try a linux distribution in the last, say... 3 years? Automatic dependency resolving is somewhat standard in any modern package management of modern linux/unix distributions. If not, then you're dealing with a rubbish distro.

"Another problem I see is that Gnome and KDE both seam to think that the user always work alone. He is suppposed to put his file in his home directory and should not access anything else."
Sorry, but saying this shows that you've never ever used KDE, and it even highly contradicts with the first paragraphs of your post.
