You should read the "story" before commenting. Allow me to copy and paste the response I gave to a similar comment earlier:
"None of this recent discussion is about why the average computer user doesn't use Linux or won't try it -- that topic has long since been beaten to death. It's about why Linux has the inferior desktop experience, and how OSX was able to steal away so many of the developers and users that, in a perfect world, should have been happiest on Linux."
But that's not really sparking a discussion. "Inferior desktop experience" is completely subjective. Personally I think OSX has the worst desktop experience of the three (Windows, Linux and OSX), Windows sits in the middle and Linux is the most joyful one to use. That might not be true for you or for anyone else though and arguing about it is really leading nowhere.
All I know is, that I'm glad to see differences between OSes regarding not only kernels and the way things happen but also regarding UX and interfaces (where Linux is by far the most flexible, because there's more than one desktop environment - a further differentiation) and I don't want them to be the same either.
