Another factor needing consideration is the quality of the manuals and
associated documentation themselves. If an adverse review has no problem
proving documentation short-comings that ranks higher over here. That
having been said, systems like dapper drake based on intended audience do
not aim at say the same crowd that uses only debian console mode and likes
it. The big reasons for X-windows on any computer system are in order of
importance 1) to limit total control of a system to a subset of
applications for security reasons in large organizations and 2) to enable
people who couldn't handle something say like console-based linux well to
still use that computer; the operating system for the rest of us approach.

After reading this sentence in the above article
"Once again I should have probably read the manual, but I figured I've done
this before."
I think there is no need to give any importance to his review. IMHO, If
someone does not take time to read a manual then it is not even worth
considering his opinions/rant on a new release.
I disagree. It all depends on the target audience. If you target those of
little technical inclination, then an upgrade path that requires reading
upgrade notes for *important* things, is not really a good idea.
And generally, here's hoping DD's don't treat bug reports the same way
(sadly, some do).
