I think that this depends a lot on the work that one does on a linux machine.
I program (C), write reports (Abiword), create webpages (Quanta and vi),
work with spreadsheets (Gnumeric), play a bit with graphics (Gimp), etc.
I also write plenty of scripts, but none of them have given me trouble so
far.
Perhaps you could tell us an example that bothers you?
