User interface! HELLO MCFLY, ANYONE HOME?

Maybe I'm coming at this from the wrong angle or something. Maybe I'm not the target audience for OpenSolaris. But when Tim Bray says Linux is ahead in terms of user interface -- and that's not the top of his shitlist about Sun's latest release -- there's something desperately wrong.

The only thing that exists about a product, from a user's perspective, is its interface. If a feature exists, but can't be found, it does not exist. If a feature is unlearnable or unusable, it does not exist. Jesus people, let's get the horse before the cart here! Let's actually make this disgusting Unix mess usable!
