37signal's 2nd paragraph of that book chapter (http://gettingreal.37signals.com/ch04_Make_Opinionated_Software.php http://gettingreal.37signals.com/ch04_Make_Opinionated_Softw...) still says it the best: > The best software has a vision. ...now just make sure the vision is not too narrow and that it's a vision and not an edict (now about Linux DEs, the Gnome 3 and Unity teams OP is referring to just keep turning a narrow copy-cat vision into a bunch of edicts... while the KDE vision tends to be so freaking all-encompassing that you get lost in it and so full of corner use-cases for bugs to hide that no developers can keep up with the bug hunt... sigh, and thanks god for xfce)
