OSS people tend to brag how OSS is superior due to the massive number of developers at the bazar. Yet the all are spread over a million projects. Some form and become stronger, evolve, most don't.

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?
Did I say that?
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?
