Many of my friends do not use a GUI (I really can't understand that, but it
is a fact).  Every time I give them an URL and expect them to be able to view
it (includes graphs, java or whatever) they complain - and I am reminded
again that they use lynx.

While I agree that the web browser interface is PITA (majorly so), it
is still for the prefered way to submit a bug report for me however.
The main problem with the web browser interface is that I cannot seem to
succeed in pasting large ammounts of text in the tiny little input fields
without completely screwing the result.  Therefore I use the browser
interface to generate a new bug tracking number and then use *email*
to create the real PR in a follow-up!

Well, dunno what my point is; I guess I hate both interfaces.
I remember vaguely I tried to use gccbug once and quickly swore to
never use it again.  I can't really remember why though (I believe
the reason was that it wasn't send back to me in email in a form
that I could send a follow-up).
