I disagree, one of the major powers of FreeBSD is that it's stable
and fast by not using "point and click" facilities. Ofcourse there
are projects that aim for this on the desktop like PC-BSD, we are
not MS or Apple though, personally I would not feel comfortable
moving to such a position (point and click).
