Consistency. Having a descriptive label on the desktop, like "Graphics
November 2005", and find it within your filesystem instead the rather
cryptic /media/cdrom, or, if you have multiple
drives, /media/cdrom0, /media/cdrom1 and so on; a naming convention
which isn't very intuitive.

And, just for the records, I haven't read one message where somebody is
"shouting that the people pointing out negatives are wrong". But that's
hardly the point, is it?

By the way, since I am definitely not a computer specialist, might it be
possible to have it both ways?
