        That's because you don't use them to their full extent. It's hard to
return to `standard' tools once you've tried the GNU version. Especially the
fileutils, binutils, auto*tools etc.

        That however is true :-(, and I think this partly explains the number
of projects splits that occured: GNU Emacs/XEmacs, Gcc/Egcs, others, and
Francois Pinard who's sooooo fed up with them that he's probably gonna turn
GNU recode into Free recode, not to speak of others.
