This ‘everyone is using it so I need to also’ logic is funny to me, given the idea of the F in FOSS is to use network effects to spread the idea of software freedom. Using and thus endorsing a proprietary platform with ever increasing integration into the software lifecycle seems to do the exact opposite of that.


"eat $h*t: a billion flies can't be wrong". (once saw this on a t-shirt) Popularity != quality.


Depends on what you mean by quality. The best complete package probably wins, although that's not the same for everybody.


That isn't the only network you have to model.
