Comment 189 for bug 275998

You are right in your rant, but wrong at the top of your voice.

With open source, we must either do the work ourselves or use the art
of persuasion to get other people to volunteer their time and
resources to meet our needs.

Lastly, I don't think the overarching goal of open source development
is to get people to switch to Linux. In fact, development it is so
chaotic, it seems that there is never any coordinated effort toward
any goal. It is frustrating to watch years pass, with significant
software gaps still unfilled while people rewrite window managers,
desktop interfaces, and so on.
