On the contrary, I really think Linus is a shining example of caring about the users. He often seems to be one of the top advocates of the "never break userspace" mentality, a position I respect. I will grant you that he does sometimes say things on LKML that are inflammatory or at least angry (less so these days to be sure) but personally I prefer the unfiltered honesty. I believe most humans can admit that they've felt like Linus does in his rants at times. People have criticized the way that he speaks, but I believe his anger is very often because he cares about the users.
