  1. Fragmenting... by Hanzie · · Score: 1, Redundant
    ... prove the tendancy of the linux community to fragment, which isn't a good thing.

    Au Contraire!

    The tendancy of the Linux community to fragment is an extremely good thing! If we have no external competition, we'll make our own.

    Competition is good, it prevents stagnation. Evolution slows to a crawl without competition. Competition gets people excited, and there's nothing I'd rather see than two groups of extremely talented people competing head to head to see who can make me happier.
