Don't you think it makes more sense to contribute to existing open source projects than rewrite one without offering anything new? Depends on whose goals you're trying to further. If you're just working for the Man^H^H^H community at large, then yeah it makes the most sense to spend your free time on contributing to existing platforms. After all, any time spent not acting as a unit of production is time wasted. On the other hand, if you're doing it for your own enjoyment then it makes all the sense in the world to spend your free time working on whatever gives you the most enjoyment. There's nothing wrong with being satisfied with 40 hours a week of being a unit of production, and wanting to spend the rest of the time living for oneself.
