[Crosspost snipped.] Quoting Federico Sevilla III ([EMAIL PROTECTED]):
> Andreiana starts with a very powerful paragraph, to wit: This is one of the time-honoured genre that I call "If I were king" essays. He's chock-full of suggestions about what _other_ people (e.g., developers) should do with their time, instead of what they _want_ to do. Because, of course, he knows better what's good for them. I am shocked, shocked, to see Andreiana omit the obvious offer to put all those developers on his payroll. I'm sure he'll fix that Real Soon Now. > A worthy read, IMHO. If you have a taste for ranters too clueless to even know what wxWindows is, doesn't understand Qt licensing, doesn't know about Krec and Xsox, and thinks KDE and GNOME can be merged, sure. His basic message is that he's confused by too much variety, doesn't like some of what's out there, doesn't understand some of it at all, wants other software he thinks doesn't exist, and thinks he can fix all this by standing on a soapbox and trying to order volunteer programmers to stop in their tracks and work on what _he_ wants, only. On the other hand, the piece was worthwhile for the comments, where various readers gently but firmly set him straight. -- Cheers, Rick Moen Linux for Intel: Party like it's 2037!
