"This "who needs marketing? all we need is code!" code is exactly why desktop Linux never took off." No - it absolutely isn't. I cannot emphasise that more. It isn't at all why "desktop linux" didn't "take off". Let's not open up the whole desktop linux thing, but a desktop linux that had "taken off" is almost certainly not a desktop linux that I'd want to be using. As it is desktop linux works seriously well for very many people.
