Hello,
I love Linux....

My primary beef, I guess is with the lack of drivers for hardware.

I think the situation has radically improved in just the last year or so - Mandrake 10.1 in particular has been fantastic in this regard alone. Hell, even my blessed Sagem F@st 800 modem worked straight out of the box!!
But yes, for some hardware it can be tricky, I agree. Perhaps when hardware vendors start to provide Linux drivers for their products (and I do believe that we may start to see that happen more often) the burden will be shifted to an extent. As it is, nVidia, HP (printers), Epson, VIA, even ATI - I think they're all to be appluaded for at least trying to offer some Linux support for their products.
