Michael, I've been using the Linux desktop as my primary OS since 2006. I had dabbled in in before, but typically went back to windows when my networking had troubles.
That said, I want Linux to be better. Yes I understand your points, but please understand even when you choose an environment like Gnome vs KDE, even they break things or don't provide all the tools you need. that is the frustrating part, when an environment either breaks something like tray icons or provides little to no assistance in completing some requirement, such as hit testing a window for transparent pixels, or registering a global hotkey.
