What problem?  A standard file format is just that:  standard.

If you choose to use non-standard, proprietary, locked-in programs and file
formats, you get to deal with the problems that come along doing that.

Er, no.  "If all of your friends were jumping off of a cliff, would you jump

Many people switch to using Linux after they get tired of the crap that goes
along with trying to get things done with Windows.  I don't see that as a sign
that there is anything in need of fixing.

If you want it to work "just like Windows", use Windows.  Many people are
running as fast as they can to escape that, though.
