IBM Donates Parts of Rational to Open Source

slashbob22 writes "IBM has decided to contribute portions of the Rational Unified Process to the Eclipse Foundation. From the article: 'RUP is a vast collection of methods and best practices for promoting quality and efficiency throughout software development projects. IBM's donation will also provide a foundation architecture and Web-based tools for the industry to engineer, collaborate on, share and reuse software development best practices.'"

    IBM donates parts of the most retarded, inefficient, bug ridden and downright atrocious software suite in the world to Open Source. Open Source folks don't want to touch it with a 10 foot pole.

    Honestly, people. Rational Suite is the shittiest, most pointless piece of garbage I've ever used. The only useful part of it is Rational Rose, and even that you can find a good replacement for.
