Hello?  If you have a problem with RMS or any other person, does
that make the software that they produce crap?

I can say that I don't like the Hurd because of the bad file
hierarchy layout (too many directories in / that should be in
/usr).  I also don't fully understand how to grok translators
correctly just yet, which makes things feel a bit alien for any
old Unix programmer.  On the other hand, I'm excited about the
different design.

You seem to judge software on grounds of personalities and
release dates.

If I was like you, I could stop using Linux simply because so
many of the new Linux evangelists have a too big ego/mouth.  But
I ain't, so I don't.

Linux is a cool piece of code.  I run it occasionally.
