Given, my experience is a couple years out of date, but back when I tried desktop Linux, the number of applications that just flat-out crashed was shocking to me. I can use my Windows desktop for months without seeing an application crash, and when it does it's usually a game or some other app built for entertainment and not serious work.
The Linux kernel is, I'm sure, just a stable as the Windows NT kernel and all that-- but the desktop applications are fragile as heck, and I know exactly what the grandparent is talking about.
(I am not and never will be a CLI user, and I don't like tinkering with bullshit-- I want my computers to just work the first time. To pre-empt some of the obvious replies I'm likely to get.)

benefits such as spending hours trawling through forums trying to find out why stuff is broken with no answer, no matter what you type into a little text box?
