You're forgetting 3 things:
1) DJB has bad licensing on his software.
2) DJB is a wanker
3) It's DJB.
oh, and 4) DJB is a wanker, just for good measure. :)
I'm sorry, but his software may well be better, and I'm loathe to admit that
of all the rave reports I've heard, I'd probably have to agree[*]. But, I'm
willing to forego the pleasure, simply because DJB is DJB, and his history
in the OSS world has put a rather large black mark on my impression off him.
[*]: Mind, I've never tried any of his software.
(I am aware of the extreme-OT-ish-ness of this post, and I'm aware of how
much personal opinion is contained within the above. I'm also aware that I
feel strongly enough on this issue that I like to make sure others are aware
of what they're accepting when they use DJB software)
