I disagree with this article deeply. He puts forward not a single example to prove his point. And there are many counterexamples. Just look at the FPGA tooling.

I disagree with this article deeply. He puts forward not a single example to prove his point. And there are many counterexamples. Just look at the FPGA tooling. By the articles logic it should essentially be the garden of eden of Software. But look at the actual state. It's a rotten swamp with almost 0 real innovation in the last decades. The open source tooling that has started up in the last 3 years is already more usable and ergonomic then the proprietary tooling.
