Comment 177 for bug 11334

Way to go @Tralalalala !

This is what happens when developers with no monetary incentives are put in charge of features in linux. And before someone comes in with IBM paying developers to work on linux, virtually none of it is in the desktop. It's all command line based because IBM makes their money doing service for servers, not desktops.

I've always posed the question with open source software but linux in general, if it wasn't free and you had to pay for a license to use it just like windows, in fact the same exact price per license, would you use it instead of windows? Or what if instead of windows, you could use Mac OS X for the same price per license, would you choose linux over it as a desktop?

If you can answer yes to any of this, I'd sure like to know why :)

And choosing it because it's open source is not a valid excuse. Don't involve politics or beliefs in your decision.
