The response by one of the devs to the first problem is "In fact, the concerns on typing-friendliness always comes up in discussions about the GoboLinux tree. To that, I can only respond that, in a properly configured shell like the one that comes by default with GoboLinux, typing /Programs takes the exact same number of keystrokes as typing /usr: slash, lowercase p, Tab."
