GNU, GPL, Open Source "The Open Source community's answer is to ignore Microsoft's incredible technological lead - because it is proprietary and not a standard - and instead focusses on their own cool thing and self-gratifying cool features, because they think they can do better (which is where the ignorance combined with ego comes in)."

He got it all wrong

Perhaps the most arrongant group is Free Software developers, not open source developers as a whole. Take BSD developers for example, while they have some snobbish controversial ones, they are all more pragmatic in comparison to GNU developers. Far less snobbish. Far less arrogant.

Don't pin all open source developers as arrogant, because a minority aren't. The majority is just influenced by a highly successful Marxist philosophy.
