like regardless of rms' failings - and lets be clear, there are many - he wrote emacs and big chunks of gcc and managed to come up with the idea of open source software that everyone in this thread has at some point in their life benefited from. esr is a loving carpetbagger who wrote no code of any substance and whose sole contribution was a book full of pithy and obviously, demonstrably wrong assertions like "with enough eyes all bugs are shallow"

Pardot posted:maybe there just arent enough eyes yet, enough eyes and we could have seen heartbleed, just need more eyes "just not enough eyes!" says esr as debian ships a comically broken ssh implementation for what, like 4 years? until someone notices

echinopsis posted:why is this poo poo a big deal dont you power-nerds write software all the god drat time it might not seem like a big deal now but a robust, extensible and free text editor was fuckin revolutionary at the time, likewise for a compiler. My point isn't that emacs is great or whatever, it's that rms actually contributed to the community he founded. esr is a barnacle.

at the time your choices for text editors were: vi, emacs, or a bunch of things you had to pay money for. and compilers? it was gcc or a bunch of commercial ones that cost hundreds and sometimes 1000+ dollars. [old man voice] AND THAT WAS IN NINETEEN NINETY TWO MONEY
