While I don’t like the hostile tone, “if you don’t like it, fork it / submit a patch” is equally unproductive, especially when it’s about the high level, direction of a project.
- krapp 4y agoHow is it unproductive? That's literally how F/OSS is supposed to work.
- phendrenad2 4y agoNo, it's not. FOSS has come a long way since the bad old days of code being the only consideration. Now people expect that open-source projects have good stewardship of said code, and accept direction from the community, you know, the users. Unfortunately many corporate-sponsored projects have other goals, often detrimental to the community. Which would be fine, if you could just switch to something else, but good luck getting away from GNOME/GTK (unless you happen to like KDE, which isn't everyone's cup of tea).
