Certainly not. It's a bad quality wine. People like it because it's
expensive and it looks like coca-cola, but I won't drink that if there's
anything else available. And at home I've a lot of better choices to
never need to uncork some Champagne.
 

Ha, ha, ha, ha!  What a bozo!

Champagne is not about taste or quality.  It's about the visual,
auditory, and even tactile excitement that it produces.

Popping the cork is like setting off fireworks.  It creates a
veritable explosion.

The sight of the spewing and foaming contents is also a wonderful
visual experience, and usually, people are deliberately splashed
by the resulting fountain which causes further thrills.

 

The important milestone of starting the X GUI has passed.

 
Let say that 30 years ago, starting a GUI was a challenge. It isn't
one anymore.

Configuring "from scratch" is an entirely different story.

Do you know you can use more than one console at the same time? It helps
a little bit.
 

It only provides an illusion of convenience.

Using spatially separated virtual terminals in a GUI is the best
situation.

You certainly try very hard to be an idiot.
