Because you don't need to be a master chef to tell if a meal needs more salt. "Never criticize anything unless you could personally could do it better" is a ridiculous notion mainly proposed by oversensitive creators.
Also because it's annoying and wasteful to have to recreate years of effort from scratch because the people who've done it before won't share. Which is, y'know, the entire point of open source.

"Never criticize anything unless you could personally could do it better" is a ridiculous notion mainly proposed by oversensitive creators. The people who want to add their own additions better understand what the source code does. So this argument does not apply here. > Also because it's annoying and wasteful to have to recreate years of effort from scratch because the people who've done it before won't share. The original creators also had to invest the time. Where do the open source fans take the justification from that if they want something similar, but under their preferred license, they should not have to invest a similar amount of time?
