OT = How Does Shrapnel Stay In Business

[dmm]

I hear you, Saxon.
Although I know a fair bit about computers and programming, I still prefer ease of use over power. That's why I do scientific programming in Fortran and interfaces in Visual Basic, instead of using C++ for everything. That's why I've always preferred DOS/Windows over Unix. The mantra of Unix Users is "But it's SO powerful, once you figure out how to use it." Well, I don't WANT to write a script just to find my misplaced file, "paper.doc"! I want to use something simple, like "dir/s paper.doc" or the Windows file finder utility. How is anyone supposed to remember Unix stuff like the following, which will search for the file "paper.doc" by name, starting from the current directory, and print the results to the screen?
find . -name 'paper.doc' -print
And why don't you get help in Unix when you type "help"? (And "man" is NOT a proper substitute.)

Out of curiosity, is Linux any more user-friendly, or is it basically Unix ported to PCs?
