Not at all. Better to give them safe, stable and simple tools,
and encourage them to learn to use those tools. For most people
that implies a good GUI (dropdown menues help too), for example
the MacIntosh platform; or more recently, products like
OpenOffice, StarOffice and KDE. Microsoft on the other hand,
offers poor-to-mediocre GUIs, and unsafe, unstable and non-simple
products.
