Great job on everyone's part for getting together and at least working towards relieving pain points.

To me this is one of the undeniable upsides to collaborative software and transparent development.

Keep on iterating on QML, it's a gold mine for Linux if they can keep improving it at this speed.

This thread has absolutely nothing to do with either of them. Why the inflammatory rhetoric?

Yep, this is a nice exception to the usual "I'll do it MY way".

This plus the Compiz maintainer suggesting that it is better to add Compiz features to Weston instead of porting Compiz to Wayland, nice!

No it was just another chance for you to get on the soapbox.

Why don't you mention the nazis next as suggested?Edited 2013-01-11 13:27 UTC Fri, 11 Jan 2013 13:26:00 GMT donotreply@osnews.com (lucas_maximus) Comments RE[4]: Comment by shmerl http://www.osnews.com/thread?548408 http://www.osnews.com/thread?548408 You just avoid the fact that you implicitly support unethical business practices when advocating for Microsoft.

No I choose the best tool for the job. I realize business is business and happens to work best at the time.

You don't even know what true lock-in is (I do), and what is really unethical ... Microsoft is no-where even near it.

I doubt you work in the IT industry or outside academia, contrary to whatever you may claim.Edited 2013-01-11 22:59 UTC Fri, 11 Jan 2013 22:58:00 GMT donotreply@osnews.com (lucas_maximus) Comments
