In some ways, yes. Gnome and KDE are both much more logical than Windows explorer. More hardware works out of the box on Linux than on Windows. Provided that...

This troll-calling just irritates me. A troll sends a clearly controversial message, then sits back and enjoys while lots of "legitimate" posters flood the thread with all kinds of flames and arguments.
A troll that keeps on and on arguing is like a spammer that keeps sending e-mails by hand, or a cracker entering remote pbuttwords by hand... a big no-no. As I read this thread, there is a guy defending his arguments (however weak or incorrect... IMHO), and a bunch of others going at him... Never heard of a troll spending N times more effort posting than the trollees (did I just made up this word?). It should be the other way around.
To Daveman750, I see *some* point in your complains... but, believe me (hehe, useless authority argument here), although the current way could be improved, it could also be much worse. Some (not that many) packaging systems (APT, RPM...), and source tar.gz-s for when you need or want to compile, is almost as good as one can get. You have been given valid reasons supporting it in this thread, I think.
I would recommend you starting a new thread with carefully chosen arguments, taking into account the responses you have gotten so far. This one turned into a name-calling dead-horse-beating thread, I believe.
