True, new ideas are difficult to come by, and very often the old ideas are the good ones anyway, which is why they live to get old. Ever wondered why most people admire old buildings more than modern architecture?
In the discussion of 'easy to change from Windows', I think the remaining obstacle was for many potential users that they had to partition the disk, install a bootloader & a new filesystem, and that's scary for most non-geeks. I think most other obstacles (software avalability/quality) have been solved by now.
