Where did you ever get the idea that a Linux user clings to Linux out of abstract love for the OS? We all need applications, what do you think we'd do, stare at the blinking cursor of Bash all day long? If there were not enough applications for Linux we wouldn't be using it, it would just be an academical OS. The ideology and the OS are just bonuses.
