Wow. 28 people have upvoted a vitriolic personal attack.

I'm a fairly impartial observer on the KDE Gnome thing (I use lxde), but he clearly can't have single handedly created a "schism" because if it was just him everyone would have ignored him.

Isn't choice good?

Same for Mono, if supporting .net on Linux was so bad why such an issue. Nobody puts a gun against your head forcing you to use it. I've deployed a few Windows servers where I'd have preferred Linux because I needed reliable .net (and we're a RHEL shop at work).

These days I write Go in similar situations and can easily target different platforms. Go is heavily patent encumbered too, but you don't hear abuse being directed at the Go team.
