It is rude to spout ignorant opinions essentially accusing those of
us who choose linux of being some sort of geek-children.

Your tone is insulting, implying that linux users are all fanatics.
Have you considered that for many of us linux "just works" and Windows
"just doesn't"?

Please cite an example of these programs "offered strictly as source".
Try to make it one that actually has broad appeal.  No doubt there
are apps available only as source, but only because they are either
too new to have proved themselves useful or of too limited appeal to
be worth packaging by the distros.
