These things have been slowly improving over time. Pretty much ever item you mention (as well as font rendering) has improved over the last 15 years. 15 years ago it was common for laptops to just not wake up at all from sleep, now the problem is some functionality doesn't wake up correctly. Not perfect, but better. Battery life has also improved a lot, though still has room for improvement. Etc. The problem is a combination of priorities, server functionality takes precedence, and that it is good enough to get work done. It will continue to slowly improve over time and the only way that will change is if someone decides its important enough to spend the time to work out all the issues with each of these subsystems. Given how much fun that sounds (not much) it will probably have to wait for someone with $$$ to pay to have it addressed. Either way Linux still does the best out of the competition that I've seen. The BSDs don't do as well as Linux and there are no other real non-Proprietary options at this point.
