Actually, I use firefox, and occasionally konqueror, or sometimes mozilla. But I do know how to use lynx, for those occasions when X is not working (generally my own fault) or when I'm ssh'd into a remote box and the network X connection is too slow, and I don't want to bother with setting up vnc.
I'm not objecting to the use of excellent technology, which I think konqueror is. However, I am objecting to the misuse of excellent technology, particularly when it comes to the point of having two processes trying to perform the same task simultaneously, and an enormous duplication of effort to write these two applications.
Maybe we should scrap the GUI altogether and go back to command line only, or even better, who needs a keyboard when you can use punchcards.
Spare us. Don't be ridiculous. Punchcards are much much slower to use than a keyboard, as well as being more error prone, more difficult to fix, and generally a PITA. Nor do I think we should scrap the GUI altogether, although I do use the command line for most tasks, as it is immensely easier to do things with once you have gotten over the learning curve.
