The promise of Desktop Linux (DL) has been long coming. It's made significant progress since the mid-90s when GNOME and KDE came out, giving Linux users a somewhat modern desktop to work upon. However, it's been 7 years and DL hasn't progressed much at all since then. Today, DL is still nothing more than a UNIX-clone with a task bar, a start menu, and a desktop with some icons on it. But why has DL evolved at such a glacial pace?

I think the most fundamental mistake people have when it comes to Linux is assuming all the developers out there are working together towards some kind of utopic-distribution for the average Joe. Seriously, this is not the case.
It is clear that the people who write these pieces want to help. Opinions and criticism are helpful, but this stuff is so old and reiterated. It isn't helping. Helping is doing some kind of development, words don't do much. Not all development is code.
