This is one of the main problems with FLOSS in general. There are a lot of
egos in a meritocracy and no one really wants to work together. This results
in forking the software and now there are multiple versions of pretty much
the same thing with smaller dev teams.
I've noticed that unless there is a corporation or established organization
backing a free/open source project, it fades away or is Terri le as it is
usually a one man team where that person is a student and is doing it for
ideology instead of getting the necessary resources to make something that
people need on a broader scale.
I've been a part of this forum for 4+ years now and have learned that the
majority of die hard free software advocates would rather spend their efforts
pointing fingers at you and tell you that you are wrong and unethical and
their way is better. Meanwhile, nothing of substance really happens and while
you are all pointing fingers, the world moves on.
