You have a conflict of interest as you are just pissed with Metrowerks as they are your competitors. Open source is about free speech and not for people with vested interests. You seem to be one of the guys with vested interest.
You cannot repress people and tell them *oxymorons* or ninkampoops... If you do the cost benefit analysis between BDI and Metrowerks debugger, its the same. And their UI is better than ddd and works with a BDI also. So, if you consider all aspects, its a better product. And opensource is used all over the globe including the Asian subcontinent. And there are still sites which use hubs as people dont have the excess money to throw away on legacy products. Just sitting in your small cube does not give insight to global technology trends...
