If these folks spent 1/10th of the time they've spent on ideological wars doing something more productive, FOSS would be a heck of a lot better, especially for end users.

People down-voted your comment but I upvoted it. I agree, to a certain degree. I don't find it useless/wrong to use software for political purposes: the author is obviously trying to make a statement. I find it fascinatingly bizarre that the emphasis is so strong on the political expression of free vs open, though, instead of the technical merits of quality.
