> FOSS aren't even a player This is hilarious, since Linux and BSDs are just killing it in the server space - take a look at stats on Amazon EC2, or DigitalOcean, or even just server market share stats. Take a look at what pretty much every web service uses as their backend (Linux). Linux is pretty much the only game in town in the HPC (supercomputing) market. > As a developer it actually feels worse. I'm currently working with someone who only knows how to program with a ton of hand-holding from VS. I don't doubt it feels worse for you. Linux makes development feel 1000x better if you are willing to learn a few basic things, which you'll retain forever. This is why the world is better today - because Apple, Google, MS, IBM - not one of them 'controls' anything. They all push a little in various directions, but openness is winning. Linux is more relevant than ever, Mozilla is more relevant than ever, and the open web is bigger than ever.
