The attitude to ignore the Linux ecosystem all in all, that became a fashion a while ago is disgusting. The way to diss software contributed by others, the way to disgrade other users who might have less knowledge, who might belong to a minority is outrageous. Reducing "community" to people who contribute to Linux is alarming. FLOSS is based on public-spirited world views. Dropping backwards compatibility within a major release (for a ".dot" release) is ignorant. The tone of voice and no willingness to care about others, including minorities is embarrassing.
I am content to not-care as much as I please. This is a workflow issue, I am not obligated to get on my hobby horse over it, unless someone is actually physically unable to adjust their workflow. (Like the guy compiling for a chroot on android, who found an acceptable workaround and incidentally was very polite about the whole thing despite, unusually enough, having a legitimate problem.) -- Eli Schwartz
