It is not just "time in familiarization"! It is everyday pain in usability even with latest versions. Trivial "look and feel" sucks big way (start KDE's System Monitor and compare that to 10-year old Task Manager in Windows NT4), functionality lucks (which browser on Linux can do File\Send Page, so that recipient receives double-clickable file and not .php or suchlike?), "another os" are resource hogs (Vista RC1 is more responsive on Athlon 800/512MB than FC5) or have more holes than Win95 (http://news.com.com/Apple+Mac+OS+X+patch+plugs+31+vulnerabilities/2100- 1002_3-6139117.html?tag=cd.top) . Even our lovely developers do not seem to value usability that much - they ignore trivial to fix issues, that are 3 years old.
