Ivan Krstic' critique of the One Laptop Per Child Project has made its ripples around the pond of the intertubes. Apart from the obvious part where it criticises a major project from an insider's point of view, it also had a few other remarks that caught people's attention - most notably the admission that despite his ability to do Linux kernel hacking, his main development laptop is a Macintosh running Mac OS X.

Well, I guess as a "somewhat more hardcore developer", it is fine for you. I'm a developer myself, and I've also use Linux for several years (with dual boot to Windows). I'm satisfy with Linux in general. But once a while, you just meet problems that you need to find information everywhere and have to edit configuration files to fix probelms here and there. Or may be you can't find some softwares that are as good as on Windows once a while.
May be it's because of age as said in this news. I'm slowly feeling less fun to play with those stuff and feeling the annoyance whenever problems hits me (even though I may know which files to edit already). I simply want everything to work as I want, without all those configruations.
I now uses Windows and still uses all those open source softwares, but I don't have all those problems I had on Linux that annoys me. Of course, that depends on personal character. But then, I guess, it's one view.
