Operating systems are way more than the technical aspect. Geeks are quick to call something crap while ignoring a good GUI, and quick to praise something that only a geek would know how to use.
I dare call the taskbar they introduced if not an innovation, at least a improvement! A quite important one. Now people had a visual way to see what windows they had open when they had many. (Multi-tasking where about to really really become multitasking.)
Take Ubuntu. It's easy to use, but probably quite far from the best Linux-distro from a technical point of view. Despite that, I think it's way better than most distros simply because it's easier to use.
