We do try to make things easier for the users, but linux is a rapidly changing operating system and has an infinite number of configuration options. Not all of us _know_ what we are doing, we just sit down and try to solve the problem. We don't have to wait for Microsoft and a patch -- we create our own. Gentoo Linux has many developers, including all the users that submit bug reports, and all the users that submit new ebuilds, and all those that submit patches. We are in-debt to all of those individuals, because they do exactly what we do: debug the problems and add features/ideas to better the operating system. Just my opinion.
