Not in my opinion. Altho you're right - the file manager sucks. Badly.

Gnome never crashes on me. One gnome app in particular, yes. But not the whole environment.
And I rarely use just command-line (I do use xterms in gnome)

You mean it's why YOU don't use it; others don't use it for other reasons.
I *like* the wizards. I like *more* the OPTION to not use them, if I don't wish to. MS does not give
me this option to avoid the wizards when I want to; Linux does.
I wish Linux would give me the option to use a wizards, when I want; it doesn't.
Because isn't that the point of linux - to do things the way *I* want, not the way some OS and/or application
designers want me to do things?
