it will be the way we compare it. and by the way I too had controvertial views a few years back and we must except the reality that gnu/linux was not user friendly a few (3/4) years back. and we can't expect all to be advanced users. today distros like ubuntu will give a very user friendly desktop and all the applications which are similar or close to similar with windows popular applications. text editor, calculator etc are some simple examples. but openoffice is almost similar and in most ways exactly identical to word, excel etc. I don't find any reason why people must not shift to gnu/linux?
