Linux isn't right for everyone.

But for many of us the short term work we invest in Linux returns as
long term rewards.

The work Apple has done with Mac OS X to embrase a beautiful, clean 3D
look is raising the bar for all other computing environments.  2D
graphical apps did the same thing to push DOS text apps and Unix
character-terminal apps aside.  In order for Linux to be respected in
the future, it needs major reworking in order to compete.  We're within
that reworking phase right now and some things aren't as clean and
simple as they should and will be.

We've seen this before: Linux has come a long way, but requires
patience.
