I use Ubuntu as my primary desktop OS and it works well -- and I can say that it does in part because when I get an occasional itch to play a game, wine works for me more often than not (most recently: Hearthstone).

If I still used Windows as my primary desktop OS, I wouldn't care about wine either, but then again I wouldn't be the target market, now would I?

You are right, I am not the target audience. The point is that the effort required to keep a project like Wine going could be better spent on doing other things that make the overall Linux experience much more appealing.

I used Ubuntu as my primary Desktop during the stone age of Vista and even then, using Wine was a painful experience compared to just switching to Windows.
