Sure, but probably 75% of the ports we have will never be *used* by the
average person either, at least until the apps change in some future app
usage revolution.  That's what I think gets missed in most of our
arguments over GUIs on this list.  If we made them all installable with
one-click right now, many people would get excited and install them and
ask "What do I do now?"  And then we'd have to point them to the
command-line.
