I assume this is true, but can we be sure? What if the people who make nasty anonymous comments on the internet are actually nice in person? I know that I have hated people who hang on the same irc-channels than me, only to meet them in person later, and be surprised that they're not at all like they are online.
Well, if his complaint is about untyped catches, well, I guess they must suck. But if he thinks that typed catches are somehow worse (hint: they're better), he is wrong.

Ok, everyone who always checks the return value of printf() in C, raise your hands. That's what I thought. The semantics of C is that whenever something fails, you just continue from the next line (statement, whatever...) even if the world is burning. Try-catch may suck, but checking for return values sucks more (in languages without pattern-matching), deal with it.

The true costs of these peoples' behavior is never on themselves.
Either you, Canonical, or both are on drugs.
> There's no point in stagnating and sticking with gnome.
If the options are "stagnating" with Gnome, or going over 9000 steps backwards with Unity, I'm choosing to stagnate.
> If you really care, get involved.
Why? What's the incentive for me? Canonical has continuously proven to not care about it's current users.

FFS, this is the same old tired propaganda of FOSS-apologists, aren't you ashamed of regurgitating it?
FOSS is doomed since it doesn't match the economic realities of producing high-quality end-user software.
Either that, or I don't want to surf this internet anymore.
