I've been searching on various sites/forums for years and honestly, the search here is probably the worst of the sites I frequent. However, I'm willing to overlook the frustrating search since theres so much good stuff here though
I'm sure its all a matter of opinion, but people have to consider....being USED to something tends to make it more familiar and comfortable, hence why users that have always searched here seem to find what they want without issue. I myself am not the type of person that generally deals with "faults" and passes them off as "quirks" which is what I think a lot of people here generally do. A lot of people use some form of Linux because its powerful, quick, and efficent...which aren't good excuses for being complicated. That being said, Linux has its appropriate uses though as much as some may argue, desktop computing isn't one of them.
