I'd been using it since the late 90's and had never had any problem deploying it either in a corporate network or in personal computers. Now I'm not using it just because the only PC I have access to belongs to the company that hires me, and Linux is not an option for it. But I'm planning to mount my own notebook, which will run Linux (and maybe have a WIN partition to be used with VMWare, for the few programs that I cannot get to run under WINE).

That being said, I understand that the choice to use of a given system comes always from a combination of factors, and I'm not aware of yours (except for the ease of use that you mention). All systems have their pros and cons, and this is by no means some sort of "evangelizing" crusade.
