debatable i think.
i would imagine that there are currently more closed-source developers
than open. More publicity to correct the false information regarding
the GNU/Linux system, to attract more _developers_, is needed, but there is
a tendency of people to exagerate the productivity acheivable
with current apps in relation to say SX, which is not helpful.
We all love Linux, but while it might satisfy _our_ needs, it can be
dangerous to extrapolate that to people in general. Linux users have a
growing reputation as being unrealistic and out of touch.
at the end of the day, for most people its the apps which matter.
