There are plenty of live and popular Apache projects that get plenty of press time: Zookeeper, Hadooop, CouchDB, Cassandra, Storm, Cloudstack, SpamAssassin, Lucene(! -- the guts of ElasticSearch), Spark, .. hell, the list is fairly endless.
Yes they adopt a lot of code (OpenOffice!) and weird abstract crapware, but this is not quite the norm. If you measure the success of the average Apache project, I'm certain it is vastly higher than any comparable organization, although I'm not sure who you could compare Apache to.. GNU?
- geodel 10y agoNot much to disagree here. The success of Apache Http and Tomcat server will itself lift average success rate by quite a bit. Others if successful are mainly a vendor driven version of software.
