Make it a lot more user-friendly, so you don't have to be a Unix-head, and a lot of us would. As a Mac user, I am used to products designed to make my life easier, but this open-source stuff is forcing me to study Unix (a task my sainted mother, may she rest in peace, never warned me, when I was in knee-pants, that I would spend many of my declining years grappling with) just to get the ever-lovin' *@&#^$*(& to launch the first time.
