Every operating system has its own strength and limitations. However what makes one more popular than another is entirely dependent on what end users prefer. The trend of their taste has shown that they prefer smartness and easiness over the number of features. Being good is not enough, even looking good is not enough; end users should 'feel good' for every feature being delivered to them.
