Oops...though that was covered somewhere. :-) But yes,
the entire question might be put pithily as "who decides?".
Quality is on occasion in the eye of the beholder,
though not always (e.g., it's not difficult for most
to distinguish a river of clean pure water from a river
full of smelly industrial waste, but there are gray areas
in between, and the gray areas are where some might see
half-empty and others half-full).
In any event he's yet to answer my question, though I'm
not sure if I can answer it either; I know what I like but
it's not for everybody.

Linux. Because it's there and it works.
Windows. It's there, but does it work?
