We have seen that a lot. It often ends with an article a lot like this.
That said, many, maybe even most Linux users started Windows users first. So, not everyone writes a snarky article and goes back.
I think a Windows user that is adventurous enough to try Linux is more likely to be pragmatic and open minded about it. They can push through basic issues like the ones raised in this article to get to the real experience underneath. Many of them like what they find enough to stick around.
But we get our fair share Linux sucks articles that are not better than this one.
