I don't think this is anything new. I've certainly never felt that Linux was "clean, logical, well put-together, and organized."

Back when I played around with my OS as a hobby I was able to keep up with most of the issues and changes, but without investing that kind of time, I don't have much choice but to leave things at their defaults, install updates, and hope for the best. Things weren't better before, I was just more involved, and I wonder if the same is true for the author.
