Which is fair. As an enthusiast that enjoys nitpicking my config files to make it all work perfectly, I've slowly come to understand people that don't want to do that. Sometimes you just want to get your work done, and it can definitely be frustrating when every utility has a different config file format, some don't even have config files but instead use gconf, some require a restart and some don't, some rely on new libraries that your distro doesn't have yet, every application has a different-looking UI... it can be a frustrating experience if you just want a MacOS or Windows-like experience. And unfortunately that level of simplicity isn't quite a thing yet in the Linux world.
