I literally cannot count the number of times I've had to dick around with Windows' command line to make something work. Not to mention registry editing.

Greater than 90% of all Linux software I've ever installed has also been as simple as "just install the thing and click Run". Building a project from source is different, I still struggle with that (anybody want to help me build Ardour?) but that's a fairly rare necessity, at least for me.
