I think if you look at it closely, you'll find that any criticism you've
gotten has been comparatively mild.  Try advocating "other platforms" on,
say, a *nix list (or /.) and see what happens.  Advocating Platform X in a
forum that's focused on advocating Platform Y may be the virtual equivalent
of wearing a "kick me" sign.

Fair enough, but don't you think the end users themselves are aware of such
deficiencies?  

When I'm riding in a car with a friend driving, I don't constantly scan his
instrument panel and remind him every 15 seconds that he prolly doesn't have
enough gas to reach our destination.  Not unless I care to finish the ride
in the trunk.

...except for the HAL 9000, of course.  Watch this:

"Open the pod bay doors HAL."
