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.
