Overly dramatic headline is overly dramatic, and sub-headline is so obvious that it should be self-evident. I can't help but think all articles like this are fighting a very old and outdated strawman. I'd venture that literally no one is arguing that "Free Software is magic" anymore. Look, sometimes Free Software is the thing that works well, sometimes non-free but open, sometimes proprietary is what you have to use. There are a lot of things we can work on and do better, and concrete solutions and experiments are important to consider: but this sort of big picture whining isn't helping anyone.
