Linux's big problem, is that developers just don't really consider

Passive end users, no matter how numerous and no matter how loudly they

Gee, I wonder where you can find such complaints from the Free Software
community. All the ones I’ve seen so far are from those too used to the
way proprietary software works, and who can’t handle the range of choice
that Free Software offers. And who can’t actually be bothered to be an
active part of that community.
