> Windows is becoming nicer in many ways, MS and other PC hardware is getting better, Linux desktop is steadily improving, etc. Since moving to the NT kernel the underlying technology keeps getting better. But personally, I don't think the Windows UI is getting better, and the ecosystem sucks (app store, package manager, permissions system, etc). Linux desktop is awesome, but laptop is tricky. Battery life can be abysmal without tinkering, although blaming Linux for shoddy drivers isn't exactly fair. Non-Apple hardware+software always seems like a compromise, and we've been spoiled by Apple by having our cake and eating it. The most frustrating thing is that everything is a compromise now. Ironically, even though Apple is accused of not innovating anymore, I think many people would have preferred less innovation and more iteration.
