I couldn't agree more. But linux was never made so that an individual can easily install some applications from a GUI. It has its share of the market, and does its job extremely well (I mean the job it was intended to do - advanced server management). The UI is just a fancy tool for the stupid (no offense intended to anyone, I myself use Windows). And we all know that fancy stuff sells the best (take a look at Flash on the web market), although it's not always the best choice.
