True, I think its doing better and better, but it's like it's hit a wall that it cant get past: appeaal to normal, non computer-savvy people. People immediately like linux when they see Compiz/Beryl and the snazzy interface, but their eyes go out of focus when the commandd line pops up. Its getting easier though, no doubt, with certain distros aimed at making things easier.
