What he says about the shortcomings of Linux are well known to seasoned Linux users, but it's still good that someone gets up from time to time to remind us of them (which is why Linux Hater's blog was useful as well as entertaining). Anyone who frequents a Linux distribution's forums will see the problems he mentions crop up time and time again, and these are major stumbling blocks to the adoption of Linux by the the general public, or even by computer-savvy users who just want to use their PCs. The widespread use of Linux on the desktop will continue to be a pipe dream until these issues are resolved. Linux is my preferred OS for daily use at home and at work, but this is probably because I enjoying tinkering and fixing things (necessary too often, unfortunately). Were it not for this, I wouldn't be a Linux user. If more effort were focused on improving quality and less on reinventing the wheel or change for change's sake then this would help, but I don't think the free open-source paradigm, which is rather 'anarchistic', lends itself well to this in general.
