I completely disagree. Tux is the success of mascots. With less successful followers such as darwin, freebsd and openbsd.

  Yes. Tux was one of the reasons I got in touch with Linux when I was young.

  After finishing the article I still don't understand what were the reasons to scorn Tux. Maybe OP should have given an example of a good mascot for the readers to get the point. I'm still quite happy with Tux though, it's a sober mascot that's very simple/minimal, and is easily recognizable.

  On the topic of mascots, the FreeBSD and Darwin logos follow the BSD Daemon, nicknamed Beastie, from 1984, more than they follow Tux.
