Wow, retract the spikes right there. I asked about a rationale. There was some
exchanges, there was explanations. Nobody told anyone anything.
You participate in an open source project, and if you don't like people
questioning past choices or don't like perfectly reasonable debates or don't
accept people disagreeing with you, well, then you'll burn out in a hurry.
I'm a BeOS veteran and I came into the Haiku project with fresh eyes. I'm
really impressed by parts of project, but I'm also dubious about some of the
choices and goals, but I do of course accept them. Maybe you can learn
something from this. You're creating a BeOS clone, which is something a lot of
people are interested in, and they will have opinions that doesn't match yours.
The fact that it seems to take forever to get a release out the door makes
people think about ways to improve productivity. That was my angle.
And let's face it: nobody will succeed with another fork or another bare bones
BeOS attempt. So it's in my interest trying to understand why Haiku is the way
it is, and I don't see any harm in offering my viewpoints.
Cheers
