Anyone that uses something besides Linux. One great thing about Unixen is how they share common interfaces. The more you change that, the less interchangeable the various Unixen become. The more reason their will be to resist moving from one to another.
This is something that has benefited Linux greatly in the past: the fact that a Solaris user could feel fairly comfortable with picking up Linux and just dive in.
The anti-dinosaur sentiment should not be an excuse to blindly and gratuitously change things just because of "new shiny shiny".
All of your substantive complaints seem to be a direct result of ignoring the principle "don't fix what isn't broken".
