Actually, I quite like debbugs. It is a bug system which doesn't force one to use a web browser for its normal operation, and allows this normal operation with a minimum of shackles and rules. For me, it means I'm not continually forced to switch back and forth between text work and the GUI. I prefer debbugs to bugzilla, for example. > The fact that you can't even subscribe to a bug# is appalling.
