Every developer HAS TO USE the "we know what's good for users and they
don't" approach.

WITHOUT IT, YOU CANNOT WRITE SOFTWARE FOR OTHERS!!!

It seems that certain people here happen to disagree on the definition
of "what's good for users". That's why there are various Linuxes, and,
believe it or not, tada, if you know what you're doing, you can even
modify Ubuntu to do "what's good for" your particular user.
