He's not only a man of principle, very prescient, but also 100% incorruptable. In other words, there's nobody to replace him.

- iLemming 4y ago> there's nobody to replace him I think we should look at the statements like that through the prism of skepticism. Whenever something like that gets said about a person alive. In the same manner, people talked about Hitler, Putin and Trump. No living person is irreplaceable in the context of societal progress. Sometimes, after they die, we may acknowledge their role, their remarkable achievements, and their legacy. Can we please stop idolizing RMS? I think, doing that today brings nothing but harm to the people who promote ideas of free software, Emacs aficionados, et al. I'm not claiming your statement is wrong, you may be 100% right, and who knows, long after he leaves us, we may come to believe that he was indeed worthy of adulation. But while he's still alive, let's not make it weirder than it already is. I don't want to be called a cultist because I use Emacs.
