I agree.... that's why I said: ***"if used properly"***

If you just download an Tor Browser on a Windows machine.  
You are not anonymous!

But if you use it via TAILS or Whonix you are good.

**edit:**  
Maybe I'm not completely objective on this matter.  
I've a Computer Science degree and an interest in Cryptography and Anonymity.  
And even for someone like me it took years to learn how to use all of this properly.

I also have a computer science degree and a similar interest set. You're right about tails and I don't doubt that you know how to avoid the potential pitfalls. I just hesitate to tell people they're good to go unless they understand everything you and I do. You have to know that using windows is dangerous, you have to know that you need to verify your DNS queries won't use your real IP, and that the DNS server you use doesn't log all that info, especially if its operated by your ISP. You need to know why its dangerous to use Tor in full screen and that its dangerous to have your OS using your full screen resolution, and know that a VPN that you don't fully trust could log your sessions or that nodes in the VPN could become compromised and snitch on you, and that your usage patterns can give away clues about your identity even if your IP is different each session, and why you should never do clearnet work during any of your anonymous sessions etc etc. You already know these things and more, I already know these things and more, some random redditor looking at our conversation doesn't. 

People should have the right to anonymity in our increasingly growing surveillance world, but people like you and I who know what it requires have a responsibility to make sure they know what they're getting into. Tor is safe and isn't some glowie honeypot. VPN are good and a great obstacle for those who want to watch our every movements, but using these tools recklessly with a false sense of security can be a disservice. I dont know or care how people use this information, but if they're going to use it, they need to know that there's more dangers out there.
