The article probably written for non-Linux user who looking forward to switch side. Hardware compatibility, [almost]malware-free, software center (heck, just say repo), backup and migration, those shinny things mostly become concern of migrating user. I remember few of my friend going crazy and try Arch after they see my setup (mouseless workflow, mpd, tmux), and end up installing Ubuntu because the learning curve was too steep. That being said, despite poor decisions that being taken lately, I still consider Canonical and Ubuntu to be fairly successful embracing new user.
