A good perspective. It's amazing how hotheaded people get over this stuff.

To give you a perspective from someone who has been working in the
computer industry for over 40 years and has worked with a large number
of different architectures and operating systems: It ALL sucks. It's
all buggy. It's all unsecure. It all has hidden trap doors with spikes
waiting for you at the bottom of the pit. It will all turn around and
bite you in the ass when you least expect it.

Windows sucks. Linux sucks. BSD sucks. OS/X sucks. Plan 9 sucks.
NeXT sucks. RSX11M sucks. VMS sucks. RSTS sucks. RT-11 sucks. OS/8 sucks.
Etc., etc., etc., all down the line. IT ALL SUCKS. (Well, maybe TOPS-20
doesn't *completely* suck. :-)

It's just a matter of choosing the environment that has the features
you need and the flaws you can live with.
