Not really. It may not be suitable for all use-cases, but it has certainly much improved in the last years.
To make a concrete example, I'm running ArchLinux + bspmw on an Asus Zenbook UX305UA. Thanks to ArchLinux I don't have all the bloat that I don't need, putting me at 10 hours of battery life. The tiling WM allows me to be extremely efficient with desktop and window managing. This is why I find it really obnoxious to use both Windows and OS X when I have to.
If you don't need proprietary software that doesn't run on Linux I seriously suggest you give it a try.
