Python must be developed by the makes-Linux-frozen-in-time team then. And don't even get me started on KDE! If you're not running Linux as God intended, from the command line and programming only in C, you are part of the problem.

I will quote Al Viro (IMHO the best Linux kernel hacker by far):

    Yeah... "Infinitely extendable API" and all such. Roughly translated as "we
    can't live without API bloat". Frankly, judging by the GNOME codebase people
    who designed the thing [GNOME] are culturally incompatible with UNIX.
