Guess What I'm Talking About

Category integration
There's a software platform that I'm a huge fan of, as most people know, but sometimes it can be frustrating to use, for the following reasons:
  • The usability and interface have come a long way over the last few years, but it's still not quite up to the standard set by Microsoft and Apple interfaces.
  • It's more secure, reliable and powerful than anything else out there, but it seems like every fix I install breaks 3 other things that I need to just work.
  • Most importantly, while awareness of the platform is gradually increasing, it's primarily still restricted to geeks who are passionate about the platform. So occasionally I see a piece of software or hardware device that integrates with it that didn't used to, but the implementation tends to be subpar in comparison to what is available for integration with Microsoft. But more often than not, it gets ignored entirely, and the software/device vendor just provides a Microsoft integration point.

So, obviously, I'm talking about Linux... wait, what did you think I was referring to? Oh.... Bummer.
