That's very arguably at the very least. As a Ubuntu user at work I can tell you how annoying are all the little bugs, all the drivers issues and hardware incompatibilities.
Yeah, you can tell me that is not linux/open source community fault, but in any case it is preventing to make future software "exponentionally" better.
Other example? I really can't stand GIMP (It is usable but really a good alternative to Photoshop)

1) What laptop are you using? Ever tried building a Hackintosh? Seems to me that either you or your company bought a computer and expected it to just work. In many cases it does so perfectly (for example on my Thinkpad it worked perfectly out of the box), in some cases it doesn't.
2) If you're so annoyed about Ubuntu, why do you keep using it? So you can bitch and moan about it?
I'm sick of people criticizing gimp. If photoshop is so much better, either:
A. Use photoshop, and pay the absurd license cost.
B. Spend what you would on photoshop to pay some starving GNU developer to implement some features you like from PS in gimp.
C. Fix the problems you have with it yourself since it is FOSS and development is open.
