That's a self forfilling professy (It works well - so everyone uses it - so it is well supported - so it works well ...)

Most distros are becoming a pain (you want to see the wifi password, well up yours I'm king and if you are too disabled to type without reviewing then  TOUGH. You may be alone in your own home but WE decree that to be a security risk ...)
