[TriLUG] User Friendliness

[Rick DeNatale]

My number one pet peeve about UI on Linux, compared to windoze or the
Mac, has to be the number of GUI apps which don't give adequate feedback
that they actually heard what I told them to do.

The worst example in this regard has to be PAN. I click on a different
newsgroup, and...

Nothing happens

and then...

maybe after a while it switches.

Even if something is going to take a while, some intermediate feedback
is essential.
