InformationWeek is speculating on how Linux will change in the next four years. "By 2012 the OS will have matured into three basic usage models. Web-based apps rule, virtualization is a breeze, and command-line hacking for basic system configuration is a thing of the past."

and there have been numerous other articles written on the sad state of Xorg, along with the sad state of GTK+.
Again, didn't see any mention of those serious bugs you mentioned. And that article is almost a year old now, too. And GTK+ is a GUI-toolkit, doesn't have anything to do with X.
Bullshit. The drivers I use with my printer are NOT bundled with CUPS, so there for:
Didn't say ALL drivers are part of CUPS.

Looking at http://www.osnews.com/comments/19643 we see that Kaiwai's full quote is "You're complaining about a piddle $1200? geeze, if I was over there, I'd buy you the damn thing; $1200 is chump change. If you can't afford it, maybe it speaks highly of stupid decisions you made in your life which results in the lack of cash flow today."
That's not a "flippant remark". That is a despicable statement that could only have come from a despicable person. In fact, it reminds me of the Social Darwinists as portrayed by, for example, Dickens, who considered that charity was evil because it attempted to counteract the workings of Nature, and that a person of "inferior wealth and social position" was that way as the result of actually being inferior. And of course how can one not recall what the notorious robber-baron John D.Rockefeller said, of his wealth: that is was God's way of saying "This is my beloved son, in whom I am well pleased".
You might think that you are smarter and better than anyone whose "cash flow" is not up to your standards, but the only person who could possibly believe that, is you.

I am not saying bugs are good at all, but every software has those. There is no software without a single bug. And the 2 I found aren't that severe, mostly likely they'll get fixed soon.

Backend =! drivers
The backend PROVIDE the infrastructure for the DRIVERS to hook into, it does NOT provide the drivers, that is *WHY* there is the Gutenprint project, along with foomatic and so on.
Do some bloody reading on the matter for once.
I used the example of AAC for the CODEC issue; the fact that you can't even be bothered to extrapolate that one example over the whole range of formats that need supporting tells me you don't read, you browse and fire off half baked crap that doesn't make any sense what so ever.
It was a flippant remark you dickhead.
