It's like a Linus rant.

  Not angry enough. I wonder what Steve Jobs would say.

  You probably mean it in a negative sense. I am of the opinion that the downfall in usability and consistency of Windows 10+ is because there is no CEO at the top ranting about their experience and asking "what the hell went wrong for this to happen." I bet this is the same thing that is happening at Apple right now, with consistency starting to go downhill post Jobs. The difference between mediocre and outstanding software is a Product Manager at the top that demands a certain level of quality in the final product, and doesn't accept any excuses, though they're willing to accept that a flawed process is what creates a flawed product. I feel I have been repeating this idea in one way or another on this forum because it's still fringe and almost unheard of in the open-source world, if it were not for Torvalds and his uncompromising stance towards not breaking the user-space, ever, lest you face his wrath. There are not enough BDFL in software worth their name.
