I am Red Hat's EMEA Evangelist. I do my work on a Lenovo X1 Carbon running Red Hat Enterprise Linux. I also use a privately owned Macbook for video editing and an iPad to watch movies when flying. There's a good tool for every job. For most of my day to day stuff Linux is an excellent choice. But for some tasks it just is too poor compared to other solutions. As I must make choices on what to spend my precious time, it will always be in favour of an Open Source solution where the invested time is worth it but sometimes also the pragmatic decision to use something else. I have always been open about this and I have been attacked, also by Bryan, who blocks me almost everywhere for that. So be it. I will always happily sit down with developers to explain why I am not (yet) using their solution and I will always listen to their explanations on why I might be having wrong expectations. IMHO especially on the desktop it's a process to get to better solutions, not a binary switch. Attacking people for not complying with your criteria is simply wrong and messed up. You win by convincing, not by shouting down. Simple.
