> I'd really like it if Linux was as rock solid as Mac or Windows. But it clearly isn't and it doesn't help anyone that so many Linux fans pretend it is (look at the replies!).
It is perhaps also possible that others have different experiences with both Windows/Mac and Linux than you do. It's common for people to not notice what's broken, or what they have to workaround, with the software they use every day. People also have different workflows and priorities that determine whether their use of a tool is "rock solid" or not. (Something I certainly wouldn't say about Windows—or Mac!)
