That looks like a decent article, but for the general case, ESR is not credible on name alone. Go look up criticism of that guy.

- MortyWaves 2y agoIs this really the type of discourse on HN now?
- asveikau 2y agoI don't have time to get into it every time that guy's name comes up. Basically he's best known for: * Jargon file * Parading himself around as "Mr open source" in the late 90s * Working on what by all accounts was a not very good mail client a long time ago That's the "good" side that's supposed to give him credibility as an expert, and it's not very much. The negative stuff is pretty bad.
