Sounds like you’re really down on FOSS and think FOSS projects don’t get stuff done and have no success? You might want to think about that a bit more.

FOSS can sometimes get stuff done but I'd argue it gets stuff done in spite of all the bickering, not because of it. If all the energy spent on arguments or "design by committee" was spent productively FOSS would go much farther (hell maybe we'd finally get that "year of the Linux desktop").
