I generally smile, sourly, to people "coming back" to some software project, no matter witch. Sw is not a product, it can't be, sw is not an isolated thing, it works with the rest of the world so it's not possible to "switch back" or "stick with the old" for more than a certain, small, amount of time.
The way to get nice sw for our needs is being part of it, Windows is a Microsoft game, so it's designed for Microsoft needs and targets, people have to learn that's one of the main reason we need FLOSS. Commercial sw is a product or a service and so it's something can't match the users interests for more than a casual amount of time.
We can deny that, it's decades so many deny, and we see the horrific results but sooner or later change happen anyway, and the more people wait the long they suffer.
