  1. JWZ is an idiot by PhysicsGenius · · Score: 1, Flamebait
    His reviews, encapsulated:

    mplayer -- doesn't like the UI
    gstreamer -- doesn't want to install the required libs
    xine -- doesn't know how to use a file browser (or pass args on the CL)
    ogle -- doesn't do what he wants, even though it makes no claims that it does

    This is a review of "video on Linux" how exactly?

    When JWZ left the Moz project in a huff, I was alarmed because I'd heard what a great programmer he was and I thought Mozilla was never going to be released. The above review (and the amazing state of Mozilla) only bolster my belief that JWZ is a primo donna past his prime. All that's left is the rage and none of the talent.
