Right, and I think most people agree with this. But we can't assent to that and then turn around and claim "Linux is just as user-friendly as Windows/OS X" or "Anybody can use Linux; it just works." It does nobody any good to pretend that Mint (or Ubuntu, or whatever) is yet at the level of Win 7 or OS X in terms of out-of-the-box usability. People who are unequivocally recommending Linux to the average layperson are doing everybody a disservice.
