I try to avoid PDFs as much as possible, I hate them.
I am not interested in video playing on Linux. And I used to work for a video editor maker who's products worked on Windows, OSX and Linux. (And used to work SGI) But my workhorse Linux machine is just not for videos or video games. OSX and Windows are for those. That's why I think of Linux as by and for programmers. Not anyone else.
Email does not need window managers, same with music players, chat service, emacs is my "office suite", etc. All of these are generic things for a wide public. For everyone. But OSX and Windows are already doing a great service for everyone.
Why should the free and open OS also be easy to use for the general audience? What's so wrong about it being specialized to power users?
My point is that Linux as an OS for and by hackers has been spectacularly successful. As an OS for everyone else? Meh.
