I agree with you Valentin. It is a barrier for beginners. I tried linux since 1998. Several distros. And never used more than two weeks. Since 2014. I decided to insist on trying the desktop linux distributions. Now , I use linux as my primary OS. I was using Mint 17 , switched to Ubuntu 14.04 last week. As you say , problems with basic user interface makes it harder for people to switch to Linux.
