Yeah, that seems to be what most of the Windows bashing comes down to: taste. Not that there's anything wrong with subjective preference, I just usually see it stated as if it were simply a known fact.
If it's any comfort, I find most Unix/Linux APIs I've looked at to be painful, and long for (most) Windows API functions. :-)
One thing Unixy people seem to hate is "Hungarian" naming of variables. Granted, like most things, it can be taken to a ridiculous extreme, but I've always really liked it.
