I had no idea there is an operating system called "the web".

 Linux, long suffering from the "designed by geeks for geeks"
syndrome, has largely been left with unintuitive, difficult to use
applications that are at best carbon-copies of their Mac or Windows
counterparts. Sure, there are some good-looking applications with
innovative interfaces on Linux -- various Superkaramba widgets come to
mind -- but they are few in numbers when compared to those in the
worlds of the web and commercial OSes."

Maybe someone should tell this guy about the fine tradition of
"carbon-copying" graphical user interfaces.

PS.  When are those Linux geeks going to make a web browser?!!
