"No way to uninstall program files completely without using exactly same apt or similar program manager. "
Uhm not true a program could provide it's own uninstaller if it wanted to, most use the package manager provided though (just like most installers for windows do these days).
"No way to know is it etc/X11 or etc/kde....in case of x-config or other editing of configs. "
Got a point there :-)
"No way to search my beloved mp3 file on the hard disk (is there any GUI file search program?)"
Beagle, gnome search, quite sure kde has something similar
"No way for programmers to have uniformed file locations for each and every distribution."
Well no, but the same goes for different windows versions and "unix" distro's have only few things in common, most notably the gnu toolchain.
