Some reckon he must really like Linux if he spend so much time writing about something he says he hates. But I think this blog reads more like a bitter ex lover. You don't have to still care about something to spend time dissing it, you just have to have a vindictive personality.
For the most part, the criticisms seem valid. This blog on "How to write a GNOME Application" certaintly rings true! Other posts, like "Das Boot" show the true nature of Linux Hater, someone who gets off on hating something.
The comments are full of pro-windows and pro-linux people battling it out over which OS is better. Problem is, the argument is moot. They both suck to some degree! Hell, its like two people arguing over which synchronised swimming team is better when in reality the sport sucks. Modern computers are a bit like that, they suck, but the OS-Tards that post there can't face the fact they Linux, Windows and Mac all share blame in the problems that modern computing cause. Namely the incessant need to upgrade, the horrendous waste through reinventing the wheel and planned obsolescence, and the fact that despite the sheer computing power that people keep purchasing, many companies STILL use manual systems, or the venerable "excel spreadsheet as a database" because the MSCE's that make up the "IT specialists" can't think outside the box.
Well, I use Linux because it sucks a little less than Windows, and because Mac hardware is for those that love to overspend.
And yeah, the Freedom part defiantely plays a role. People who only care about practicality are perfect prey, because their tunnel vision stops them seeing the bigger picture.
More on this soon!
