This question, and the very act of asking itself, is full of fallacies and silent assumptions.
What is this "general public" you speak of, what does it mean to "still matter", how do you evaluate this property?
I'm using Linux because I am used to it, the tools I need, many subtle features included, are there (and they aren't there on Windows or OS X), and in general I can get the job done in a most timely, convenient and pleasant manner on Linux compared to any other environment out there. So, yeah, it's relevant for me.
Wait, what did you expect, that some ephemeral being called "The General Public" will descend upon this thread and lay pure truth upon it, drawn from its unbound knowledge? Sorry, no cake for you. I know some people have this tendency to readily extrapolate "I" into "we", "everyone" and such and happily provide answers to these questions, but you shouldn't listen to their bullshit. I mean, respect your own intelligence and try to see through dumb generalisations. And don't ask meaningless questions that invoke them.
