> I have come to really think that a big problem in the open source world is the non-standardization of interfaces. Text over stdio and communicating processes is just not the greatest… We lost that battle in the late 70s/early 80s. It has nothing to do with the open source world.

  The problem of ad hoc nonstandard text interfaces, in both source-available and priority code far predated the gnu manifesto, much less anything that happened since. That’s all.
