Seems there are two (very polarized) camps here. (:-/)
Myself I side with John, because I've always wanted my Personal Computer
to be, well, Personal. *Nobody* else is ever going to get to use it, so
any overhead for multi-user is just a nuisance. I'g guess, with PC
prices so low, this is a pretty common situation. (OK, Urias has a
"family computer", but aren't kids going straight to tablets mostly
these days?)
My Linux machines are usually set to 'auto-login', so I'm not bugged
by passwords, but there's still a lot of irrelevant multi-user baggage
that can get in the way.
If multi-user can be added to Haiku in such a way that one can set up
one's machine to *completely* ignore it, that's fine, but if it is going
to get in everyone's way (even a little bit) then I too think it's a
mistake.
