Obviously the bar for "ready as a desktop system" is subjective and thus will change wildly from person to person.
For me, it's not ready primarily because it lacks any remote desktop solution comparable to RDP. Yes I've tried VNC, X2Go, NoMachines and some others I can't recall (though not ogon yet).
I find it's also a lot more fiddly than Windows, but I could have lived with that.
