Why is that something horrible about Linux?
People want to use what they are comfortable with. Linux can provide
the functionality they need but it is "new" and so they rationalize
copyright infringement. Now that the "cost" of infringing is percieved
as higher than the "cost" of changing to Linux, they decide to change.
That says something about the people accurately described by this
characteriazation. It does not say anything about Linux, horrible or
otherwise, except that moving to Linux is a change and has a learning curve.
