I was disagreeing with everything he said from the get go (or rather
from the time you linked to). I'm an enthusiast and I don't need shiny
tools and integration. I need well designed (software design,
separation of concern, multiple ways of interfacing, language
bindings, etc.) building blocks to tinker and experiment with.

The one thing that struck a chord though were his last remarks and he
surely wasn't the first to mention those points :) If the open, libre,
software environment doesn't appeal to the non-enthusiast masses, they
are led to the altar of getting their liberties butchered, as is
apparent with modern OSs like OS X and windows, iOS and android and
the popular applications on those platforms.

I'll watch the rest of the talk later, when I'm not busy with getting
food on my table creating non open software on the linux platform ;) I
wonder how he wants to solve problem of funding. Polish and
Integration is a monumental task eating tons of resources. Ain't no
enthusiast got time for that (unless they find a way of financing)..

Regards,
Flo
