We're discussing X breaking, remember?

Do you find adding unalias help to your .bashrc a "struggle"?  If so,
then I'm truly very sorry.  Put a newbie in front of a command line.  Is
he likely to type "rm"?  No.  Is he likely to type "help"?  Yes.

You seem to think this is an either-or question.  I believe that Ubuntu
can cater to experts and newbies alike.
