Well, it's really hard for Linux to make the right decision. The community is so diverse, FSF developing the userland, OSI the kernel and a third party shipping the distribution of them. The GNU/Linux desktop can't be done right, unless you customize it to your needs.

>OSI [developing] the kernel That's not true: the Open Source Initiative has no hand in the development of the kernel. The strongest link between the OSI and the kernel is the fact that Linus is more approving of the OSI's position on ethics and co-existence with commercial software than he is of the FSF's position.

As a MBP owner, I'm hard pressed to find anything more frustrating to use than the OSX Finder.

Any specific problem with it? A lot of people complain about the Finder because other people do so. I've used Unices since Sun OS days. I've used Linux for 15 years (from RedHat 5 and Mandrake to Ubuntu 12.04). I've used Windows for 6 years. I've used Macs for 8 years. What exactly is the problem with the Finder compared to what's offered on the other platforms? Specific, measurable, gripes. Not "it feels slow" junk.
