OSS people tend to brag how OSS is superior due

number of developers at the bazar. Yet the all are spread over a
million projects. Some form and become stronger, evolve, most
don't. If I had a buck for every interesting approach that never
got beyond 0.0.5 I'd need a bag to carry them.
Is this a discussion over the most appropriate direction to take in
desktop interface design, or the merits of free software vs
proprietary development? Do you want a proprietary system? Maybe people do brag about superior development
characteristics in
free software. Maybe it does possess said advantages, maybe not. Maybe
it depends on the people involved. But that's beside the point. The
point of free software is that it gives you your freedom. If you don't
have that first and foremost, who gives a crap how "good" it seems?
Do you mean by this you prefer poor free software over proper proprietary?
