Applies to you as well, don't you think? :)

He doesn't make that claim however. You just need to file bug reports for distro specific issues and stop equating them as Linux desktop issues in general.

The lack of a single standard isn't distro-specific.

Whatever lack of standard doesn't prevent distro package maintainers from fixing obvious bugs and making the file associations work.

You suggest I file bugs against *all* the programs I use. No thanks. I still believe this is a general Linux desktop problem, even if some distros do put work to make the default associations sane. File associations is something an end-user should be able to manage in a clean, easy and universal way.
