I'm not bashing Linux: it is what it is, and the price is right, and the technology is as good as anything available today in many respects.

My big problem with it is that, while I am reasonably technically literate, Linux changes frequently and in arbitrary ways. If you are like me, someone who doesn't use it every day, then coming to a configuration job once or twice a year is painful. The tools change: I don't often even know what the new tools are for a given function, and when I find them after prowling UseNet and LinuxQuestions.org, they almost certainly work differently than the previous tool.

Few apps in Linux have anything like the polish and consistency of even a Windows app, much less Mac apps, and this is the source of my frustration. ...and doubtless the reason Linux hasn't blown everything else, Microsoft included, out of the water...
