I think you're missing the point. This is not about FUD, this is not 
about "pot-shots". It's about being realistic about Linux, and what the 
problems are, and where it needs to improve. Without criticism we'll 
always live in a bubble where we think everything we do is awesome. Why 
do you think Windows is so terrible?

I mean, I'm at the point where I want to move to Mir, because X.org 
sucks (why is my VGA primary and not my HDMI?!!) and Wayland is a lost 
cause quickly becoming left behind.

Don't read it as an attack on Linux, read it as an opportunity to 
improve things. Think of it in the same vein as Bryan Lunduke's "Why 
Linux sucks/Why Linux doesn't suck" talks at LinuxFest NorthWest.
