RMS has: written, and been part of writing a suite of tools that have enabled the creation of an emormous catalog of software. A lot would not have been possible without having access to a free compiler and all the other tools needed to write the software you dreamed of? Most of it with no connection to GNU or RMS. What tools did you think an ethsutiastic student in Finland hasd access to to start writing a kernel? If you want to purge RMS and GNU from your life, go for it. Just make sure you also purge all the code created due to it. Hurd failed? Sort of. Who cares? He has done more good, helped more people, enabled far more people to use computers, and enabled enormous fortunes to be made. Do you think something you write will be used by bilions of people for decades? You do not like him, you do not like his ideology, who cares? Dont trivialize his accomplishments. At least not until you have done the same and much more.
