I can't compare how it is at the moment, but when I migrated from Win to 
mainly linux, I found that very often free software beta's (including 
free software under Win) seemed to work better then some proprietory 
releases.
The quote I loved most came with a beta of some programm under Win: 
"Microsoft would call it a release. I call it a beta." :-))
Though recently, esp in Gimp, I find a few bugs, which actually are 
features. :-( A matter of taste I guess...
