Well think of it this way, and perhaps it will make it more palatable.
A couple of years ago, the average user thought that Microsoft was the
epitome of computing. There were no visible alternatives, so they just
kept using what they had always used, Windows. All of a sudden, this
UNIX clone called Linux, starts to become popular. People see that it
isn't that bad. They play with Linux, learn to like it, want more, and
eventualy move on to BSD based systems.
Of course, if you don't care for new users...
