Agree. It's not so much any OS is bad, any of them have it's flaws and field uses. It's more its users who work as supporters make the experience a bad one. Here we have an example about how elitists Linux users tend to be (as if i were mentioning how 'special' Mac users feel because 'they have no viruses' and use 'hip' computers). Not everyone wants to read walls of unnecessary text by default, for that we have something called --verbose parameter. There's also the .log alternative. If it works and makes its function, there's no need to flood a screen unless desired . But it doesn't because it works differently depending on user environments and distros. I want to run a program and make use of its utility, not planning on debugging the damn thing in order to make it work. Linux would succeed in desktops if they could cut out their egos to less than 4 distros and hear what other users have to say instead of only shut in their shells (not pun intended).
For the record, i love command line applications and batch files. But Linux use to be too much of anything.
