Pete's condescension is right on target: core Linux components are being replaced by people who, by their own admission, "hate Unix."
There was no condescension, please take this back. And I never touched the subject of hate of Unix. What is up with putting words in my mouth here?
Didn't mean to put words in your mouth. David referred to it as condescension, my repetition of that word was merely in reference to his comment. I should have put it in scare quotes.
The "hate Unix" reference is from David's own comments regarding your blog.
Apologies.
Since we're on the topic, I do not mind if someone hates Unix, as long as he knows Unix, so he is not doomed to reinvent it, poorly.
I wonder what Henry Spencer would say about reinventing Windows 98 poorly as a warmup exercise.
