I remember right after Carter got elected, I was sitting in my apartment in Albany, CA, on a Saturday listening to people call Carter and ask stupid questions while I designed the screen editor.
I got tired of people complaining that it was too hard to use UNIX because the editor was too complicated.
I had almost rewritten all of the display code for windows, and that was when I gave up.
I think the hard thing about all these tools is that it takes a fair amount of effort to become proficient.
Bitmap display is media compatible with dot matrix or laser printers.
I think the Macintosh proves that everyone can have a bitmapped display.
