Well said. Linux is definitely a programmer's paradise the same way
that an American car is perfect for anyone who likes to make
modifications to whatever they purchase. However, nobody is dumb
enough to claim that an American car is superior to something made in
Germany and it is fairly foolish to claim that the overall Linux
experience is superior to the one provided by Apple or Microsoft.
Linux undoubtedly has an advantage when it comes to filesystems,
standards compliance, openness and performance on modest hardware but
a lot of that doesn't matter a lick to the general user.
