And immutable distros in general would be like this:
Faster by far than getting stuck in Windows traffic and It Just Works(tm) to get you where you want to go, but it's more difficult to go off the beaten path.
I'm a huge fan of immutable distros, but I'm not sure they're mass transit.

My reason for the bullet train and subway in particular is the nature of being on tracks as well as avoiding traffic (Windows bloat in my use of the concept).
Great for the average user because they don't have to really understand any of the systems involved or anything, just pick a stop and off it goes, but if you try to go off the beaten path at all, you'll probably find yourself having to work around the immutable nature pretty quickly. You can't just go anywhere with it like you would a car.
