    Even for developers, there is a very substantial cost to any deviation from the herd and little time or money for these projects.

    If everyone thought that way, we’d all still be using MS-DOS. This is an absurd take for a Linux user.

      I didn’t say we should be satisfied with “good enough” I said in practice we build our sandcastles on the beach irrespective of the approaching tide because it’s what we know. In that context, it is no longer an absurd take it’s just recognizing reality.
