Nothing personal, but I think this is a bad attitude. Not only is it
exactly what we hate out of Microsoft, who believe their programs are
"superior" and the whole world should come to them, but it only stands
to hurt those of us in the trenches. I need POSIX compliance and it has
been a lifesaver on a regular basis since it was adopted by the majority
of Unix vendors. Everytime someone jams out a non-standard "better way"
of doing things my life becomes more complicated, and believe me
"better" is all relative.
We need more things (and people) that "work together", not less. I'm
against any tack that increases divisiveness in the industry, which I
think this would.
