It seems that people would like to think that cathedral > bazzar is like waterfall > agile, but I'd also posit that it can mean walled garden > OSS... the iphone is a beautiful object, I am also post 90's so I've never been involved with a cathedral project, but I see his point. On the other hand, why can't I watch a flash movie on my iphone? Sometimes it'd be convenient to do that. I think it's funny that there is no engineering restriction on being able to do that, it's simply an effect of cathedral vs. bazaar culture at apple. In fact people forget that the true cathedral would be an iphone without the app store, as Jobs had originally envisioned. I definitely don't agree with the assumption that the cathedral is always better and preferable.
