This is the mistake. On many levels:
1. it is an insult towards those actually doing something Like
(random example) this electronic music composer [1] and professor
(chosen at random among my acquaintances) who makes a point
of using free software and introduces his audience, music
students to it
2. it is defaetist "the others have won, anyway, just accept it
and give up". No. Truss up your sleeves ;-)
3. it's not fun. And that is perhaps the biggest crime on the
spirit of computing. Alan Perlis [2] must know!
4. it could be a poisonous meme planted by "our opponents".
Where did you pick that up?
Cheers (somewhat tongue-in-cheek ;-P
