“A strangely dressed man typing away furiously into a black
screen with green text. He’s got to be a hacker!”)
More likely people are thinking "Why is he using Emacs when he could be using VIM!?". Or maybe they're asking why he's writing a blog entry on an OS like Emacs when it doesn't have a good text editor.
Seriously though, most of the software I use is open source and is often more user friendly than commercial alternatives. So I disagree pretty strongly.

I wanted to lay stress on the fact that mainstream developers/designers are simply not interested in Open source because it gives them nothing in return. The very few that are, only do it for the traction.
