Everybody loves open source software.
But if you think about what’s going on, it’s this: open source software was written by/as a bunch of scratched itches, and no more. Itches are like evolution, they’re not intelligent. Which means when an itch is scratched, it’s good enough, if it’s not itching enough, it doesn’t even get scratched.
Anybody who is unhappy with the state of a piece of open source software is free and able to do something about it, but if it’s not enough of an itch and we have bigger itches, we don’t do it and it stays the way it is. What we have is good enough. Just like evolution.
And so it is with every single open source software developer. And that’s why everything is the way it is.
