It's terrible journalism, but I do think it's of value as an example
of an emotional response to shifting from Vista to Ubuntu. Is there
anything there that can be stated as a newbie problem and hence as a
bug? e.g. if how to do something was sufficiently unobvious that the
first instructions he found unnecessarily involved the command line.

Saying "you are wrong" won't convince anyone, particularly if they are
in fact wrong. If something isn't sufficiently obvious to a newbie,
that's a reportable bug that needs fixing.
