I've only been using GNU/Linux since 2001, so I won't say that I'm by any means an expert yet, as most of those that are reading this, probably have been using Linux much longer than I have. However, I still have high hopes for the Linux scene. The purpose of this article is to voice my personal opinion on what I feel is keeping GNU/Linux from taking over the mainstream operating system market. My intentions aren't to "badtalk" the open source kernel+apps, but rather give constructive criticsm on what I personally feel it could be done better.

" but Linux needs good RAD development tools. They need to take a look at Visual Studio and other Windows development environments for inspriration. Vi and Emacs doesn't cut it in 2005."
A programmer who can't program with a normal texteditor, will not be able to program with a state of the art IDE either.
Try to take a look at KDevelop.
It does not have all the bells and whistles of Visual Studio, but for any normal programmer it's more than enough.
