All Things Microsoft > Microsoft as a Company
Massachusetts set to switch off Microsoft
worker201:
Please provide an example of where you think openness has been used as an excuse for laziness.
skyman8081:
XFree86, vi, emacs.
And, in general, the "fix it yourself" mentality that seems to permiate a lot of projects, and GNU advocates.
Aloone_Jonez:
Good point skyman8081.
Another point that the GNU bum club fail to see is that if three companies all had significant market share and their products were all proprietary all of their file formats would be open since they'd all want to make it as easy as possible for someone to switch to their product. I believe that if it wasn't for Microsoft we wouldn't have the blind hate for all things CLO$

Please expand on this. What exactly have the developers done that makes you think they are lazy?

To me, that's just a list of programs. Please explain how these programs' "openness" makes them lazy?
Oh, and XFree86 sucks. Xorg rocks.
vi is closed. vim is open.
And GNU Emacs kicks-fucking-ass.
