I don't think people (here at least) really throw stones very much, and those that do usually get downvoted or rebutted pretty mercilessly. Some past Terry Davis threads:

The majority of people really seem to respect his technical achievements, and "TempleOS does a really interesting thing ____" isn't an uncommon comment.
- jeffreyrogers 11y agoHis video contrasting TempleOS with Linux is really interesting. It's unfortunate that many of the people who watched it didn't understand the points he was trying to make or just couldn't get past his inflammatory language. TempleOS seems to address many of the deficiencies of Linux for desktop usage.

- pekk 11y agoEveryone likes functionality. But functionality comes at the price of complexity.
- mrcsparker 11y agoI just watched the TempleOS vs Linux video. Fantastic stuff. I had missed that one. His OS looks fun. I started listing the things that I liked, and I was just repeating the points in the video.
