Strictly speaking, that means any _human_ would find them simple to understand. My wife, who is a social worker, does _not_ find GPS "intuitive"! What they really mean is "familiar to anyone who has used similar products". In this case, that means Borland C++ IDE, MS Visual Studio, ObjectAda IDE, etc. It does _not_ mean Emacs, so _I_ find it _unfamiliar_ and _frustrating_! Ooh, that felt good :). -- -- Stephe
