That's an important topic to me. I find it funny when I hear people saying how great an open-OS like Linux is because when it's broke, "You can fix it yourself." Uh, I'm a pretty good coder and I know I don't stand a chance to have a clue how to fix Linux if it were broke. Thanks for the mind jog, Bart. Lack of simplicity in open source? Don’t get me started.

However, I must take exception to the title. "Open Garbage", maybe, or even "Open Wastecans". I expected "Open Source Garbage" to be a rant about lack of simplicity in open source. :-) Nice article!
