Miles Fidelman, what's the point of being so rude? Your comments were mostly un-constructive, and the fact that you aren't able to entertain the OP's opinions says a lot about your abilities to criticize. The OP has a good point, that free software is largely restricted by funding, and while you point out some large successful projects, most free software projects are not like that. A very topical conversation this month is about LibreOffice's funding.
Some newbie know-nothing jumps in, mouths some uninformed bullshit opinion & rains on our parade, and I'm being rude?
There's lots to be said about the economics of software development - free & otherwise - but bullshit is bullshit, and deserves to be called out. Otherwise, they don't learn nothin.

Practice is when everything works but no one knows why. In our lab, theory and practice are combined: nothing works and no one knows why. ... unknown
