I have heard this claim made for a very wide variety of pet features over
the years, none of which have turned out to be the "magic bullet" that
converts the rest of the world to Linux when it is implemented.  Meanwhile,

One interpretation of the available evidence would be that different users
have different priorities when it comes to their software.  ;-)
