- I wouldn't be too concerned about which is better, but would instead
- try to recognize a standard when one exists. By doing it the way you
- are, one way or the other, you are forcing people to have to relearn
- a method, either when they come to your system from MS-Windows/Mac,
- or when they go to it (as they surely will). The question then becomes
- how many additional people are you going to force to have to go through
- the relearning curve?
