Enterprise Open Source Hatred

It seems any enterprise that supports open source gets flamed. Mozilla fans dissed Netscape even though for a long time it contributed most of the code, and Linux users seem to hate Redhat.

Some of my changes to Mozilla have been critisized as being company-centric and influencing Mozilla with evil intents.

Fan boys suck, lets go shopping.

Amen. Look at all the rioting over the proposed removal of View Source in Firefox. As a web design dork, I use View Source fairly often, but Lord knows I have enough perspective to realize that 99% of casual users don't need it. It's a good decision for the software, even though I don't personally support it.

The only gripe I have with the proposed removal of View Source is that there is currently no easy way of installing the Developer Tools after installation.

I hope it'll be made available on Mozilla Update, you know, to allow people to install it without reinstalling ;-).

Don't forget real. Everyone seems to hate them, even linux users, which is odd considering they always treated that platform far better than windows. You'd think helix would have changed a lot of opinions, but if anything people seem to dislike them even more now.
