IMO a blind spot that all OS vendors have is the "use just once in awhile" use case. The problem is that every small little thing that is added accrues while the system is offline and when it is brought back online you have dozens of updates pending.

I use Windows daily and think it's fine. However today I turned on a laptop in a coffee shop that has been offline for a few weeks, needing to get a few things done. It saturated the small amount of wifi bandwidth allocated to me by the AP for at least a half hour doing stuff, making the work I wanted to do take longer. Under normal circumstances if I used this laptop daily I probably wouldn't have noticed.

It is a paradox that in our world of always-online software that the less you use it the worse it gets.
