A survey of my own too...

From a Desktop/Workstation perspective, what are the strengths and weaknesses of Linux that you encounter? I think we can help programmers improve the software with feedback from each of us recognizing and defining the weaknesses or disadvantages of Linux, so that is what I'm going to focus on. I'll start:

Weaknesses:
* Installing software of course... dependency hell and such.
* Location of certain files and directories will vary across distros.
* Development of many programs seems to be quite slow (which can be expected if there is little income from it)

Strengths:
* Installing the OS and selecting included software is easy
* Stability
* Multiple GUI's
* Almost all distros can be obtained for free (legally).

OK, what would you personally add or remove from this list?
