My guess regarding why people find Debian difficult is that its still not a
'pure' gui solution. In other words everything is measured against M$ Win
where almost everything done by joe average user is gui. I haven't been in
the Mac world for over 20 years and it was that way there then - - - dunno
about today.
The author is one who bemoans the loss of his beloved windows even as
her runs a linux distro - - - that would be my understanding. Likely he
switched to a linux distro to keep up with what he perceived as the 'cool
guys' not for any other real reason.

Dunno as to the real reason but I've given up on trying to get others to
switch from M$ Win - - - - the argument always gets to 'the majority
of users just can't be wrong' to which there is no real effective counter.
