I find his views amusing, if misguided. In any case, a troll's opinion
has about as much weight as the air under the bridge from which he
crawled out of. No sense antagonizing him, let his ignorance speak for
itself. As to whether ERDAS products, or even open source ones, are
viable options: that's always a question of requirements. So arguments
either way lead to very little. Perhaps we should adopt more of a live
and let live philosophy, while still promoting the merits of open source
software? Let everyone have a cape! (Because when everyone's super...
no-one is!)

At first glance, my initial reaction is he's merely misinformed.
However, after reviewing his blog and comments elsewhere; it's not
just sad - it's outright funny how indoctrinated he is. We use a lot
of proprietary software because we have a specific community we need
to interoperate with, but in our case the scenario is not open VS
closed, it's random assemblage of homebrew/proprietary software VS
closed but standardized VS open. The latter would be ideal; but while
interoperability within the open source "geostack" is good;
integrating open source with proprietary is still a challenge.

Anyone have pictures of him in spandex and a cape?

Hey, look on the bright side. In the above post he says he has
many clients already using open source solutions.
