You do much injustice to "common Linux users" if you attribute to them an IQ level of a trained chimpanzee. Mine is not especially higher than that of one btw, i assure you. Those who switch to Linux from other operating systems do so to understand their systems better and have more control over them if nothing else and not just to avoid spending money.
Believe me ... the simpler the things are the better. This is valid also for very intelligent people. You can believe me.
There's that lot too..hmmm, do i really care if they want a Windows like system and won't lift a finger to type a basic command?
I don't. I'm perfectly happy recommending Mint to someone. It has everything they'll need, will run fine on XP machines, and has gui frontend for everything.
Distribution: Linux Mint 9, Linux Mint 17.2(xfce), LMDE2(Mate), Debian Jessie minimal (with standalone OBox)

Making things simpler is the developer's prerogative, advanced users such as your good self IMHO, should either join them or help the new user adapt, not encourage his/her Windoze habits and fancies.

+1 to that, my Linux journey began with Ubuntu (8.10 Intrepid Ibex) and i switched to Mint after tiring of it in six months. I must confess Mint made me very complacent, honestly, it's that easy and convenient to use and will be on one my partitions for life. My move to Debian is fairly new as is my desire to "look under the hood". :-)
